Presentation outlines

So, in chapter twelve, there was a section that focused solely on the designing and use of presentation outlines. For the purposes of speech, the book presents three specific ways to outline. The first is call the working outline. The working outline serves as a skeleton for the speech. It includes a thesis, the main points and possible subpoints. The Complete Sentence outline organizes all of the thoughts into complete structured language that contains most of the bulk of information included in the speech. The last type as discussed in this chapter is the presentation outline which is basically a watered down version of the complete sentence outline. It takes key words and points from the complete sentence outline and uses them as memory cues for more information to pop out. The presentation outline is often transposed onto note cards and used in practicing and presenting the final product. For many people, presentation outlines can be a useful tool in making sure that their speeches have fluidity and conciseness.
