I recommend downloading the above template to your device, deleting my instructions, keeping the shell/ frame of the outline, and typing in your speech preparation outline.
The template will provide a breakdown of what goes into the informative speech as well as what goes into your preparation outline.
The preparation outline is a working “blueprint of your speech,” during your speech, you will not be expected to say every word on your outline, only the ideas.
After you create your preparation outline, you will create your speaker outline- or notecards.
You will not want to write a lot on your notecards. They should be one-word or small phrase reminders of what was on your preparation outline.
Remember, you will be taking the Written Citation in your preparation outline and converting them to Verbal Source Citations. This means that your research will appear in three places.
In the preparation outline through in-text and parenthetical citations
The preparation outline works cited page
Verbal Source Citations during your speech
While the preparation outline labels the different parts of a speech, you will not verbally identify these labels during the speech itself. Meaning, you WILL NOT SAY; My attention-getter is…instead, just present the attention-getter
