Persuasive Outline

Explanation

Submit the full-sentence outline. The full sentence outline should have a heading with name, assignment, term, an introduction written in paragraph form that includes an attention getter, orientation to the topic, thesis statement and preview. The main points of your speech stated as complete sentence proposition appropriate for that phase of the model. The main points should be outlined using the standard (Harvard Style) outline pattern. Each main point should be designated with sequential Roman Numerals (I., II, III). Complete sentences should be used at the main point level. IMPORTANT: The entire outline does not need to use complete sentences. However, the main points should be.

Subpoints beneath the main point should also follow the outline pattern:

First level subpoints uses capital letters (A. B. C);

Second level subpoints uses Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3);

Third level subpoints uses lower case letters (a, b, c);

Fourth level uses lower case roman numbers (i., ii., iii.)

The subpoints should include the information you intend to cite orally. In the outline itself, you need to provide yourself the information you will SAY about the person or organization you are citing--who are they, why do they have credibility, where did they say it. (NOTE: You will also include a complete bibliographic reference for each source used in the "works cited" section of the document.

Conclusion also written in paragraph form with a review and a sense of closure.

A Works cited section should have the bibliographic reference for each source cited.
