SPEECH OF INTRODUCTION OUTLINE

COMMUNICATION

The purpose of this outline is to help you organize your thoughts and ideas into a structured speech. It will help you arrange and format your main points and sub-points so that your speech is clear to your audience. Your Speech of Introduction Outline is worth 50 points. Your outline should be typed, double-spaced, 12 point font, and follow Small Section directions. Be sure to print and attach the Speech of Introduction Outline Grade Sheet to the front of your outline on its due date. Also, you have to submit your outline online with Turitin.com through your Small Section BlackBoard site.

Your outline should follow the format on the following page; it should be clean and easy to read/follow. I will grade your outline for both content and format. I will grade what you say, how you organize what you say, and your grammar, spelling, and punctuation (G/S/P). I will also grade how closely you follow proper outline format and subordination. (Do your main points align? Are your sub-points consistent?) It is a full sentence outline so that I can read what you will present to the class on your speech day. If your Attention Gainer is a quote, do NOT write "I will present a famous quote". Write out the actual quote; I want to read it.

A title page is not necessary. This outline is graded for both content and format. I will mark down for grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes. I will evaluate the main points you make in your outline, how you support your main points with evidence/examples (sub-points), and I will grade how you say it (G/S/P). See Chapter 12 of our book and Large Lecture PP for Chapter 12 for more information. You should always proofread your assignment at least twice- once for content and once for format.

In this outline, you will learn the following Student Learning Objectives:

1. Choose and narrow a topic appropriately for this audience.
2. Generate a well-reasoned argument for this specific audience.
3. Assess the strength of relative arguments and supporting evidence.
