• Outlining the Speech

2
Types of Outlines

• A working outline (a.k.a. preparation, rough
  draft) is the basic composition of your speech
  with the specific purpose and thesis statements,
  main points, supporting material, and
  transitions.
• A formal outline contains your entire speech,
  worded very nearly like the speaker intends to
  say it with a title page and bibliography.
• A speaking outline (a.k.a. delivery, key-word) is
  used when practicing and presenting your speech
  the words and format are condensed to encourage
  eye contact rather than reading.

Types of Outline Formats

  point and sub-point is written in a complete,
  declarative sentence.
• Phrases are used in speaking outlines and are
  typically written while practicing from the
  working outline.
• Key-words are the briefest possible form of
  outline formats used when delivering your speech
  and are usually one or two words per point or
  sub-point.
