Include and label all components of the introduction, body and conclusion (just like in the example outline below). Your speech body should follow the format of: 1 Effects of the problem, 2 Causes of the problem, 3 Solution to the problem (These should be your main point titles).

Use at least key words after each component to describe what you will talk about or to trigger your memory. You can include more than key words to help you remember what to talk about. The outline is for you to help you bring out your best when presenting a speech to the audience.

Remember to include your 3 different sources (minimum) in the outline where you will be citing them out loud during the speech.

If you don’t get full credit on your first submission, you can submit the outline again after viewing my comments for improvement to get a higher score.
