Informative Outline Assignment - 50 points This is the first step to completing your speech video assignment. The outline is a written guide for your speech, but keep in mind that it is ​not​ written word for word! Also, it should follow the format that is provided in the outline template. It should ​not ​be written in paragraphs. Lastly, don’t forget that this includes a reference page on the very last page with at least 3 sources. Write your outline with three titled sections (Introduction, Body and Conclusion) in the format that is provided in the outline template. This is found in the Welcome folder. Introduction:

● This section includes an attention-getter (such as a quote, statistic, question, etc.), a thesis statement (main point of your presentation) and a preview of your main points.

● It should be around 30-45 seconds long when presented. Body:

● This section is the “main” part of your presentation and the longest. It should be around 3-4 minutes long when presented.

● In this section, you will have 3-5 main points. These are the main ideas or pieces of information you want your audience to know about your topic.

● It will also include what is called sub-points. These are details about the main points. ● In your body, you should include your in-text citations for your sources. This means you

should include your author and year of the publication from all the sources you used (at least 3). See the ​OWL at Purdue website​ for help.

Conclusion: ● In this section, recap your main points briefly. This may sound repetitive, but just briefly

list what your main points were. ● End with a strong concluding statement. This may be a quote, statistic, etc. but do not

end with “That’s it”!!!! Reference Page/Works Cited Page:

● Include all of your sources from websites, databases, magazines, etc. on the very last page.

● It should have a title in the center of either References or Works Cited (depending if you use APA or MLA)

● You should list your sources alphabetically ● Use hanging indentions. This means your first line of each source listed will align on the

lefthand side and after that the lineswill be indented.
