This outline must be at least 3 pages long and use 12-point font.
Use appropriate coordination and subordination. Use full sentences, including subjects and
verbs for the main ideas or main points and the 1st order of subordinate ideas or sub-points.
Consistently use either full-sentence or list form for 2nd -order sub-points supporting the
same 1st order sub-point. Usually use list form for 3rd order, 4th order, and 5th order subpoints.
Enhance the readability of the outline. Use only one idea per point, only one sentence per
point, single-space each point, and double-space vertically between points. Leave a line of
white space between each point at every level.
Transitions between major sections and the main points should be provided in the outline
(enclosed in parentheses). Use transitions to move the audience’s attention from one section
to another or from one main point to another.
Use a consistent pattern of indentation. Type main points flush with the left margin. Indent 5
spaces for 1st-order sub-points, 10 spaces for 2nd-order sub-points, 15 spaces for 3rd-order
sub-points, 20 spaces for 4th-order sub-points.
Use the following system to label the points in the body:
o Main Points: upper case Roman numerals [I, II, III, IV, V]
o 1st -order sub-points: upper case letters [A, B, C, D, E]
o 2nd -order sub-points: Arabic numerals [1, 2.3, 4, 5]
o 3rd -order sub-points: lower-case letters {a, b, c, d, e],
o 4th -order sub-points: Arabic numerals in parentheses [(1), (2), (3)]
Content
Specific Purpose: Formulated into one sentence, the specific purpose identifies
the precise response the speaker desires from the audience (change in
behavior). Do not use infinitive phrases, i.e., “to inform” or “to persuade.” Place
the label for the specific purpose sentence flush with the left margin.
Thesis Sentence: The thesis sentence (addressed to the audience, not the
instructor) summarizes everything the speaker intends to say during the speech.
Place the label for the thesis sentence flush with the left margin.
The introduction should gain attention, orient the audience by stating the topic,
offer a reason for listening, and preview the body of the speech. The introduction
(which may be outlined or written word-for-word) is designed to
1. gain the attention of the audience;
2. establish the speaker’s credibility; and
3. orient the audience to the body of the speech.
Do not say “I will tell the story of ____,” or “I will do X, Y, or Z.” Actually outline or
write the story here in the Introduction, such as “Have you ever found yourself
repeating mistakes you have made before?” Actually outline or write the question
here. Enclose transitions within parentheses ( ) on a line or lines separate from
the rest of the outline. Transitions may link major sections OR main ideas OR
subordinate ideas within the body of the speech.
The body must contain 2-5 main points using patterns of organization covered in
the textbook; other patterns of organization must have prior approval by the
instructor. Each main point must be well supported by 2-5 1st-order sub-points
designed to illustrate the main points (examples, illustrations, facts, quotations,
etc.) Don’t overload the audience with information. Move from simple to complex
ideas. Move from familiar to unfamiliar ideas. Define your terms.
The body develops your ideas, condenses your thinking and research, ensuring
that you have done an adequate job of preparation. The entire outline should
contain more material than you have time to use in your speech and must be at
least 3 pages in length [2 full + 1 partial). You must use two-five (2-5) main ideas
and two-five (2-5) subordinate (sub-points) points for each main point or higherlevel sub-point. The conclusion should restate or summarize the main points
and communicate a sense of finality (verbally or nonverbally indicate that you
have finished talking). You may end with a story or quotation.
The conclusion (which may be outline or written word-for-word) is designed to
1. provide the audience with a sense of finality,
2. leave the audience in the proper mood, and
3. focus the audience’s thinking on your topic.
Bibliography: The bibliography reports where you found the information for your
speech. There are two general sources of information: your own personal
experience and what you have learned from outside sources (reading or
interviewing). You must indicate where you obtained your information. You are
expected to provide at least six sources for this speech.
If some of your information came from your own experience, specify that
personal experience in the bibliography. For example, “I based this speech on
water safety totally upon my personal experience as a lifeguard at Norms’ Resort,
Cottage Lake, for the seven summers from 1959 until 1965.” Your personal
experience will count as only one of six or more sources of information required.
You must include and cite properly (in APA format) at least one source from the
Columbia College library database. Do not use Wikipedia as a source of
information. However, if you cite electronic sources, provide enough information
so that I could duplicate your search. Include at least the author or editor, title,
date, publication medium, publisher, and the Universal Resource Locator, which
includes protocol, site, path, and file.
Preparation Outline 4: Persuasive-Action
Vote for Candidate X
by
Julie Smith
Specific Purpose: I want the audience to vote for candidate X in the general election.
Thesis Sentence: Vote for candidate X in the general election.
Introduction
I recommend that you vote for candidate X in the general election. Websites and books
dealing with voter registration have been reviewed. It is in the company’s best interests to
begin a voter registration program for all employees. Beginning a voter registration program
for our company may encourage our employees to vote on issues critical to our organization
in the next general election.
Body
I.
I have conducted a survey of voters in Snohomish County designed to determine how many
voters voted in the last general election.
A.
Of those 18-19 years of age, 5% voted in the last general election.
B.
Of those 20-29 years of age, 10% voted in the last general election.
C.
Of those 30-39 years of age, 15% voted in the last general election.
D.
Of those 40-49 years of age, 25% voted in the last general election.
E.
Of those at least 50 years of age, 35% voted in the last general election.
(Sample transition: But are these numbers accurate?)
II.
I compared the results of this survey with news media exit polls conducted during the last
general election.
A.
The national media exit polls are consistent with my survey.
1.
The Gallup poll
2.
The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll
B.
Local media polls are also consistent with my survey.
1.
The Seattle Times poll
2.
The Spokane Spokesman/Review poll
(Sample transition: So we know who voted, but what did they vote for?)
III.
Issues of interest to Snohomish County voters failed in the last general election.
A.
The proposal to reduce the sales tax by 1% failed by a margin of 60% no to 40% yes
votes.
B.
The proposal to improve the highways in Snohomish County failed by a margin of
51% no to 49% yes votes.
(Sample transition: How will Snohomish county voters benefit if more people vote in
the next election?)
IV.
If Snohomish County voters actually vote in the next election, we will benefit.
A.
Reduction in the sales tax rate by 1% would help consumers save money.
B.
Snohomish County voters will experience safer and faster commuting to work if the
proposed highway improvements are completed.
(Sample transition: Who should we vote for to make these things happen?)
V.
Vote for the candidate who supports issues of interest to Snohomish County voters.
A.
Candidate X supports a reduction in the sales tax rate by 1%.
B.
Candidate Y opposes a reduction in the sales tax rate by 1%.
C.
Candidate X supports the proposed highways improvements in Snohomish County.
D.
Candidate y opposes the proposed highways improvements in Snohomish County.
Conclusion
Since the next general election includes initiatives to both reduce the sales tax by 1% and to
improve the highway outside of our store, and since Snohomish County voters favor both
proposals, I urge all of you, as Snohomish County voters to vote for the only candidate who
supports both of these issues: Candidate X
