Overview
Delivery Outline Guidelines This brief outline helps guide the speaker during the delivery of the speech. This outline should be key words and short phrases and should NOT be full sentences. It is to be used to keep the speaker on track and organized but not something the speaker is “reading”. Include all elements listed below. Introduction: Below is an example of what the body of your outline might look like. Your speech can have 2 to 5 main points. You may have different amounts of sub and sub-sub information than the example below. I. A. 1. 2. B. 1. 2. TRANSITION II. A. 1. 2. B. 1. 2. TRANSITION Conclusion: Reminders: Every point on this outline should be short words and phrases (not sentences.) The delivery outline should have the same skeleton outline as your Preparation outline (Roman numerals, letters, and numbers.) Remember to include transitions between introduction and first main point, between main points & between last main point and the conclusion. Add Delivery Guides (pause, slow down, show visual aid). A PowerPoint presentation is not to be used as your delivery outline.
Students must submit the Delivery Outline to the Dropbox in order to receive a grade for the speech. The outline will be graded when the speech submission is graded. If you use three 4x6" note cards for your delivery outline, submit a photo of the note cards front and back to the assignment dropbox. Students are required to show their delivery outline at the beginning of the recording before they begin presenting the speech. Delivery outlines are expected to be no longer than the front of 1 piece of paper (8 ½ x 11) or no longer than the front of 3 note cards (no larger than 4 x 6). This outline will be checked in the dropbox and at the beginning of the video recording. If it is longer than the above requirements, points will be deducted from the total speech assignment score.
