HOTS) Back Outlining Rules.docx Outlining Rules 1. The Introduction always has 4 points (Attention-getter, SPS, Credibility, Thesis) labeled with capital Roman numerals I, II, II, and IV respectively 2. The Conclusion always has 2 points (Summary and Closure) labeled with capital Roman numerals I and II respectively 3. Main points in the Body are labeled with capital Roman numerals only 4. Sub points in the Body are labeled with alternating levels of numbers and letters as taught in class: Primary sub points = capital letters (A, B, C, etc.) Secondary sub points = numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) Third-level sub points = lower-case letters (a, b, c, etc.) 5. All sub points need at least one partner. There should never be a sub point by itself anywhere in the outline. 6. No full sentences in the Body (main and sub points) 7. No multiple sentences or paragraphs in the Body (main and sub points) 8. Place transitions between main points in the Body 9. All transitions should be labeled 10. Cite sources in the Credibility Statement of the Introduction 11. List main points in Body order in the Thesis (Intro) and Summary (Conclusion) QD fal 4 Dashboard Calendar To Do Notifications Inbox 3:07 wll > EE ED ED Back Outlining Part 2 Text.docx ch Outlining (Part 2) I want you to follow a 2-step outlining approach for each of your speeches this semester. It's the same concept as writing a rough draft and then a final draft for an essay. You will start with a rough draft outline (the Preparation outline) and then you'll refine that into a final draft (the Speaking outline). The Prep outline is the one that you use while you are preparing the speech and the Speaking outline is the one you use when you are speaking in front of an audience (or camera, in our case). The Preparation Outline Your Prep outline will contain the Introduction, Body, and Conclusion. We will discuss the Intro and Conclusion in a later video. You will always start developing the Body first anyway and then will follow with the Intro and Conclusion. The Prep outline (and every outline you work on) needs to follow the outlining rules that I have posted in this Module. You'll get to those shortly. Read them carefully and watch the Outline Rules video later in this Module for explanation. It is imperative that you format each outline exactly as I teach in the videos. At the Prep outline stage, it is acceptable to have full sentences in the Body. However, each main point and each sub point should be no longer than one and only one sentence. In other words, no paragraphs in an outline body! We're not working on manuscripts in this class. The Speaking Outline The Speaking outline will follow all the same rules but will be a condensed version of the Prep outline. Each main point and each sub point in the Body should be less than a sentence in length. There should be no full sentences in the Body. You can achieve this by practicing. So, when you finish the Prep outline, you should start to practice your speech. The more you practice, the better you'll know it. The better you know it, the less you'll need on paper. So, the Speaking outline does not need to be as long or detailed. One addition to the Speaking outline that will not appear in the Prep outline is the use of Connectives, specifically transitions and signposts. Both will help your audience know where you are in the speech and will enable them to follow along more easily. In the video coming up next in the Module, I will cover more specifically how to label your main and sub points in the Body, how to know when to use subordinate (indented) points, and what transitions and signposts are. oO ff fH A B Dashboard Calendar To Do Notifications Inbox 9:23 all > ED
