Talking outline

Talking Outline Instructions In this assignment you will provide a basic structure for your paper. Use the reports and

articles that that you have gathered so far as the basis for the points that you will cover

in your analysis. Each point in your outline (except the headings) should be made as

statements (sentences) suggested by your research with the appropriate citation. Points

should not be in the form of shortened phrases. For example:

Correct: ABC Company uses forecasts to direct its budget process (Jones, 2016).

Incorrect: Forecasts are used (Jones, 2016)

Incorrect: ABC uses forecasts to budget

You will also need to include your research reports and articles in a Works Cited section

at the end. Use proper APA format for these citations. Follow my example talking

outline. The text in the talking points is gibberish because I am not actually creating a

real outline. This outline is used to help you see what I expect from your work in quality

and quantity. Use this as a template to guide you, not to restrict you.
