Description:
Prepare a detailed FULL SENTENCE outline for Speech 2 using the template below. Prepare a detailed outline for Speech 2 using the template below. This does not mean writing your entire speech but only writing the topic sentence for the three to five supporting points that prove your thesis. Include a thesis statement that contains the claim or prediction you will demonstrate or illustrate (which is usually spoken); a purpose statement, indicating if you are persuading or informing the audience; and the response from the audience you wish to achieve (which is not usually spoken); an introduction; a body, including supporting evidence; transitions; and a conclusion.
OUTLINE TOPIC
Your Speech 2 Outline will be on Speech 2, which is a 3 to 5-minute (closer to 5 minutes than to 3) speech in which you inform the audience about an issue important to you, but in this or any informative speech, rely more on presenting factual information rather than on bias or preference of any kind. The topic can include a process but give the audience an understanding, not simply directions alone. If you inform the audience about a place or a favorite vacation spot, tell them about it evocatively rather than just listing facts. Here, you would describe sensory perceptions such as sights, smells, and sounds and may include your personal experience. You may also present an important idea, concept, or any other issue you believe the audience needs to know better.
Go back to week one and read the directions for the first outline. Then, follow those directions, too!
This speech requires research and outside sources in creating your speech; include them in a bibliography and cite them in the outline and subsequent speech. Using at least two sources is required. Please use APA format for the citations in your outline.
GO BACK AND READ THE OUTLINE DIRECTIONS IN OUR FIRST ASSIGNMENT AND APPLY all that is there to this one outline, too. Thanks.
Here is a link to informative topics (you are not required to choose from this list):
