  3. Example SPECIFIC PURPOSE: To show my audience, through a series of easy steps, how to perform meditation. THESIS: When performed correctly, meditation is an effective and easy way to reduce stress. MAIN POINTS: • The first step of meditation is the “Positioning.” • The second step of meditation is “Breathing.” • The third step of meditation is “Relaxation.”

  4. Alternate numbers/letters • Show relationship of parts to one another • Major point • First-level supporting point • Second level supporting point • Second level supporting point • Third-level supporting point • Third level supporting point • First level supporting point • Major point • First level supporting point • First level supporting point

  5. Tips for constructing main points • Write points in sentence form • Construct parallel points • Don’t write out some points as questions and others as statements – be consistent • A main point should not introduce more than one idea. INCORRECT: I. West Texas has its own Grand Canyon, and South Texas has its own desert. CORRECT: I. West Texas boasts its own Grand Canyon. II. South Texas boasts its own desert.

  6. Organizational patterns

  7. Outlines Two types • Working outline – the preparation or rough outline • Organize and firm up main points • Using information collected to develop supporting points to substantiate them • Speaking outline – the delivery • Shortened version of working outline • Has cues and clues for delivery • Written on 4x6 note cards or 8.5x11” sheets of paper with large print

  8. Working outline • Use full sentences • Helps with confidence for delivery • Ideas are clearly stated making delivery easier • Do not write out the speech word for word • Clearly mark where source credits will be placed. • Give your speech a title

  9. Working outline reminders • Write out your topic, general purpose, specific purpose, and thesis • Establish main points (three is optimum) • flesh out supporting points • Check for subordination and coordination • Label each speech part (intro, body, concl.) • Write out each speech point in sentence format • Label and write out transitions • Add a list of references to outline • Assign the speech a title

  10. Speaking outline • Outline taken to podium • Use note cards • Write legibly or type • Number to keep in order • Write on one side only • Delete nonessential words • Five or six lines per card • Highlight important ideas • Circle/underline words to emphasize • Write delivery reminders – (pause, slow down)

  11. Speaking outline tips • Leave some blank space at the margins to help find your place at a glance. • Number your note cards or sheets of paper so you can follow them with ease • Instead of turning cards or sheets, slide them under one another • Do not staple notes or sheets together • Don’t use the cards or sheets in hand gestures, as they become distracting.
