Persuasive Speech Preparation Outline.    

Format to Follow

Title/Topic of Speech: Give it a good name.

Introduction:  Written out in paragraph form. 

Body:  Each main point, subpoint, and sub-subpoint outlined in full, complete sentences, with transitions provided between main points and labeled.  Your textbook calls this a Formal Outline, and you can see an example of what the body of main points outlined would look like there (p.482-485).

Conclusion:  Written out in paragraph form.

Bibliography:   Cites a minimum of five different credible sources in proper American Psychological Association (APA) format.  Your textbook also offers some quick guidance on APA format (p.485-487).

Outlines that don’t meet these requirements will receive a loss of points, so please be sure to follow the assignment carefully. I’m happy to review drafts or to work with you from scratch in order to ensure you get this done correctly, so please let me know how I may help. 

Other Stuff Needed

Planned oral source citations for all sources must be included in the speech outline and a bibliography with all sources provided at the end. This outline must be typed and proofread, and will be graded for completion (complete sentences of the entirety of your speech from start to finish), adherence to proper outline format (described in your textbook), and proper bibliography of sources in APA format. 

Why You Want to Do a Good Job

The Preparation Outline is important for three reasons:

It is, in and of itself, an assignment worth 10 points.

It is proper presentation for your speech, an assignment worth 50 points. Just about any instructor will tell you that a good outline (thorough, organized, well-written, etc.) will typically more likely result in a good speech.

It will help in the grading of your speech, meaning that if I don’t hear the various grading requirements in your presentation, then I will see them in your outline and will give you all of the points (if you said something but I just didn’t catch it) or some of the points (if you meant to say something but didn’t or didn’t say something sufficiently). If the speech requirements are not in your outline, then you likely will not be getting the points for them. For all of these reasons, please do a good job

Choose a topic you believe in, something that you feel is meaningful and worth advocating.
