>> Okay, class, as promised, we're going to go over outlining your speech today.
Now, again, this is a pretty significant portion of your grade, being able to outline correctly.
So, make sure you spend a little bit of time on this, don't just throw something together.
So, outlining your speech is pretty straightforward
and you might have already done outlining the past,
but I want to go over a few different types of outlines that you're going to need to do.
Okay. So, different types of outlines, two of them are from the book, and I'm going to talk
about another one that people like to use.
The first one is your preparation outline.
And, as you can imagine, you're probably going to use this when you prepare your speech.
And then you have a speaking outline, which is probably what you're going to use
when you're delivering your speech or speaking.
And then I'm going to talk about a speaking script that I see in class sometimes.
So, preparation outline, the content that goes into this, give it a title if you like.
I would suggest choosing a pretty basic title like,
"Demonstration speech" or "Informative Speech."
Don't call it, "My super fantastic speech on how to demonstrate."
No, just give it a basic title.
I would put your specific purpose statement right on top of the page
that way every time you open it, you can kind of see what you're supposed to be doing.
Sometimes as you're working on a document, it's easy to get a little bit off track.
You're preparation outline should have a central idea.
It should have an introduction, main point, sub points in there.
It should have connective -- connective tissue -- should have connectives in there.
Should have a conclusion and a bibliography in your preparation outline.
Now, they don't go in in this order.
You don't just have one of each of these, although you should only have one central idea,
one introduction, one conclusion, and one bibliography.
But you're going to have multiple main points and sub points and connectives.
Okay. So, guidelines for your preparation outline.
State your specific purpose.
What is that going to be?
Identify your central idea.
It should be very clear in your outline where it is.
Label your introduction, your body, and your conclusion.
And then use a consistent pattern of symbolization and indentation.
And this the critical part of an outline and it's what makes an outline an outline.
State your main points and sub points in full sentences, very important point here.
A preparation outline is full sentences.
A preparation outline is what you're preparing for your speech,
but your preparation outline is all of the words that you plan to say to your audience
when you get up to the podium, when you get up to the front of your class.
So, the state the main points and sub points in full sentences.
Label your transition summary, previews,
all that stuff in your preparation outline, and then attach a bibliography.
Your preparation outline is what you will give me when you come to the podium
or come to the front of the class.
So, when you're going to deliver your speech, I get your preparation outline,
so I'm going to get your bibliogrpahy and I know what your plan is for doing your speech,
and then give it a title, like I said if you choose to.
Okay. So, what are we talking about with that visual framework?
It's the symbolization of indentation showing the relationship among ideas.
This is where you need to be ABC, 123.
This shows the relationship.
This shows a hierarchy.
So, it'll look something like this.
So, with this, I've got two main points, four sub points, and two sub-sub points.
So, in main point one here, I've got two things that are going to support that.
So, if I can get my cursor to work here, I've got, actually, let me get the -- get a pen here.
So, I've got these two sub points are supporting that main point.
And then these two sub-sub points support that sub point.
These two sub points here do not refer to this sub point.
This -- the hierarchy here, the Roman numeral one, the AB, the 12,
they tell you what refers to what.
Just like this sub point down here doesn't refer to this main point.
Let me do a little circle.
No, it doesn't work that way.
This tells you exactly what goes where.
Let's see if I can erase that now.
Okay. So, when you're putting your outline together you want to make sure
that you're showing that hierarchy, that you're showing relates to what.
Okay. So, when I said visual framework I said that the ABC's and the 123's.
So, I've got one example here.
And I've got another example on the next slide here.
So, I still have the A's and B's and the 1's and 2's and all of that, but, you know,
like the eye doctor says, "What's the difference between this and this."
Well, the symbolization is different and the indents are different, but they still show
that hierarchy, they still show you what goes where.
Another way you could do it is something like this.
Now, it doesn't matter to me what you use.
You could use this one.
You could come up with your own.
It doesn't matter as long as you're doing the ABC's, 123's, or in this case, the 123's.
What you don't want to do is the asterisk or stars or boxes
or unicorns or hearts or any of that stuff.
That's a bulleted list.
That does not show hierarchy.
You need to show a hierarchy.
You need to show what comes first, what comes second.
If you just had asterisks or dots or boxes, that's not going to show you what comes first.
With this, it's very clear that one sub point, 1.2.2 comes after sub point --
sub-sub point 1.2, 2.1 and that both of those refer to 1.2.
So, whatever that visual framework is needs to be consistent and it needs to show a hierarchy.
Okay. Your bibliography is pretty straightforward.
It's a list of sources used in preparing your speech.
It doesn't matter if it's MLA or APA.
In communication studies we tend to use APA, but if you're familiar with a MLA
or your particular field uses MLA, it's up to you to use.
You use whatever you're comfortable with, but you need to use one of them.
If you want to use Chicago, that's fine, but if I call you on it and say, "Hey,
this doesn't look right", and you're like, "Oh, that's Chicago."
Okay. It better be in Chicago.
So, pick one and go with it.
Okay. Speaking outline, this is a little bit different.
This is a brief outline to jar your memory during the presentation.
Your speaking outline is what you will go to the front of the class with.
Preparation outline is not what you're going to go to the front of the class with.
Now you're speaking outline uses a visual framework
and it uses the same visual framework you used in the preparation outline.
It needs to be legible.
Where your preparation outline might have been Times New Roman 12.5, single spaced,
your speaking outline might be Courier or Arial,
it might be 1.5 spaced and it might be 14 points.
Whatever is easiest for you to read when you get
up to the podium or up to the front of the class?
Your speaking outline needs to be brief.
It's a couple of words to remind what's on the preparation outline.
It's not all the words you're going to say to your audience.
So, if you came up to the front of the class with your preparation outline and said all
of the words that are on that preparation outline,
you would come in at exactly the time you planned.
If you came up to the front of the class with your speaking outline,
and you read all the words that were on your speaking outline and nothing more,
you would be really, really short because there's not a lot
of words on your speaking outline.
It's brief.
It's there to remind you of what's on the preparation outline.
Now, you're speaking outline is going to have delivery cues
that the preparation outline won't have.
So, it's going to be things like, "gesture to the audience" or "change slides now."
So, it's going to be that type of thing,
directions for delivering key parts to your speech.
Now, when you're putting your delivery cues in I would recommend doing either in pen
or pencil afterwards, or highlight them, or do them in a different font or something,
that way you don't look at that and same them to your audience, "look to audience and smile now."
Yeah. Don't do that.
So, delivery cues, make sure you don't read them to the audience.
Okay. So, let's take a look at what a complete outline would look like.
So, the example here, I've got an introduction.
It's identified.
I've got an attention getter.
I'm going to introduce the topic, relate it to the audience, build credibility,
thesis, previous statement, transition.
The body, my first main point, sub point, sub-sub transitions, all that stuff,
second main point, all of that, same thing, third main point, and then get to the conclusion
where I review and restate it and all of that.
Now, pretty straightforward.
Now, I want to emphasize a few things.
When you're doing this, your preparation outline is written
as what you would say to the audience.
You don't describe what you would say to the audience.
You write what you would say to the audience.
And then when you do the speaking outline,
you start with your preparation outline and you trim it down.
So, if you go to the folder with the documents for this chapter,
you'll see a few documents in there.
One is just a preparation, one is a speaking outline,
and you can see the relationship between those two things.
Okay. One thing that I didn't quite talk about and that was the speaking script.
And a speaking script is essentially just an essay that you bring up to the front
of the class and read to the audience.
Don't do that.
If you do that, what you're going to do is sit there and stare at your paper and we're going
to look at the top of your head the whole time, and your voice is going to get flat,
and it's not going to go over well.
Remember, this is a public speaking class not a public reading class.
So, don't walk in with a script.
So, go into the documents folder for this chapter, look at the preparation outline,
look at the speaking outline, and look at the speaking script
and you'll see the speaking script says, "Don't ever use this in class"
and don't ever use this in class.
So, okay, no essays in class.
So, next time we'll go over using language.
Thank you very much and have a wonderful week.
