It is highly recommended that you use the following worksheet to complete your speech outline; if the file is cumbersome for you to use you should at least pay attention to the elements laid out in the worksheet. There are both .doc and .rtf files available. Also, use the rubric visible below as a checklist to ensure you've covered every thing in your outline.
As you work on your outline remember that this is a guide for your actual speech, not a script.
