The Group Informative Speech Presentation Outline should demonstrate your overall learning and execution of proper speech outline formatting. I would like to see your finished outline that you used to present your speech; therefore, I do not need research notes.
I would like to see your speech development and any oral citations included in your outline. To receive top marks, the outline must be representative of your 3-4 minute speaking time during the group presentation, include in text and oral citations within the content, and meet the guidelines of the oral portion of the speech. For example, a minimal amount of content that is too brief or lacking citation(s) may be subject to a lower score. Points will be awarded for creating a speaking outline that is clear, concise, and well developed. This will allow me an opportunity to assess the development and course learning outcome for organized content. There should be a demonstration of clear, concise, and organized content that has a logical flow of ideas.
