Preparation Outline Guide

The following is a guide to use as you develop preparation outlines for your speeches. For purposes of illustration, this guide has three main points in the body of the speech. In your speeches, of course, the number and organization of main points, subpoints, and sub-subpoints will vary depending on the topic and purpose of any given speech. However, the elements needed in the outline—introduction, body, conclusion, transitions, bibliography—will remain the same.

INTRODUCTION

(1) Gain the attention and interest of the audience;

(2) Reveal the topic of the speech;

(3) Establish credibility;

(4) Relate the topic to the audience;

(5) Preview the body of the speech.

( Transition: Make sure the audience knows you are moving from the introduction into the first main point of the body.)
