REVISION
Per last assignment on Gender Equality, this is a Group Review Outline based on that last pdf. I have attached all files to help and guide you. Like last time, do everything exactly how instructions are stated. Keep in mind, this is a outline for a Speech class.
Formal Outline—Once the research has been gathered, the single most important aspect of speech
preparation is the organization of the speech. A formal outline helps to provide the organization
and structure necessary for a good presentation. To that end, this assignment requires the
submission of a formal (full-sentence) outline. Use the format provided on the last page of this
document as a guide. Notice the Internal Summaries, which are complete sentences between the
main points in the body of the speech that quickly repeat the previous main point and forecast the
next main point. Such repetition is necessary in an oral presentation to make the main points more
understandable and memorable. Also notice how the researched information is incorporated and
cited within the body of the outline. The citation of the work that belongs to another is a legal and
moral responsibility of every author. Keep in mind, that from the very first rough draft, through
reviews, practice and final version, the outline should be considered a ‘work in progress.’
The format for the introduction and conclusion of the speech should be followed closely. The
information in the body of the speech should be organized according to one of the six organizational patterns
A. Topical—the information is presented according to the author’s preference since the information itself does not suggest any particular organization; for example a speech about the advantages of stem cell research, or the main tourist attractions in Florida
B. Chronological—time order; for example a speech about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, or the development of the computer
C. Spatial—space order or by location;, for example a speech about beef production in the United States, or the degrees available on the different campuses of MDC
D. Problem/Solution—identification of a harm or difficulty and the presentation of a resolution; a speech about the teen driving accidents solved by raising the driving licensing age, or high gas problems solved by opening oil reserves
E. Cause/Effect—identification of a particular situation and its direct outcome; for example smoking causes cancer, or stronger reading skills results in higher grades throughout the curriculum
F. Compare/Contrast—identification of similarities and/or differences between two things; for example the differences between democracy and socialism, or the differences and similarities of the apple and android operating systems Keep in mind the following:
• The outline is the skeleton of the speech, not every word and sentence is included.
