PersuasiveOutlineRUBRIC1.docx

Outline : Prior to the first day of speeches, you will turn in a working outline for your presentation. Refer to chapter 13 (specifically, pages 203-207 titled “Sample Speaking Outline”) of the textbook for more concrete details about speaking outlines. A speaking outline will both help you prepare and allow me to have a roadmap in my mind of what you are doing so that I can better assess your presentation. Please take this assignment seriously, because I will be grading it in detail. You must complete this document in full sentences.
