Some important reminders about outlines:

Back

Working outlines are what you start with and they help you with

speech preparation and planning. This isn’t the outline you will

use for speaking.

The full-sentence outline develops the full details of the message.

But, again, it is not the outline you use to speak.

The speaking outline includes key words or phrases and helps you

stay organized in front of the audience without reading to them.
