Chapter 8 Concept

One concept from the reading I found useful/interesting was the complete-sentence outline in Chapter 8. Since we all had to do a complete-sentence outline for the first speech and future ones, I wondered why. It helps “provides a highly detailed description of your ideas and how they’re related to one another”. It really does help to see everything for your speech along with the supporting materials so you can state it, rather than just having bullet points. The book tells you how to format the complete-sentence outline by using symbols and indentations. If you look at Figure 8.3, you’ll see an example of how it’s formatted. You have to remember to include and label your introduction, transitions, and conclusion. Using this type of outline is very helpful and keeps your speech organized!

    I agree that the complete-sentence outline is very helpful and organized. I believe that it is much better than the working outline because the working outline uses key words in its organization. Using key words gets down to the main point of each idea or point, but it does not lay out the entire idea which can be confusing. I like to look at everything from a bigger picture as well (seeing everything including supporting materials) so the complete-sentence outline has always been extremely helpful to me. Not only does it allow the speaker to see everything, but it is extremely organized with its roman numerals, letters, and other points. Good job Kai :)

    Hey.
    I agree that having complete sentences in your outline is very important because it helps you later with your speech. This is very useful to our process of our speech. It’s like we do all the work first then when it comes to our speech we take the information that we think that would interest the audience and put it in our speech. That way we have our information and ideas all laid out for us and all we have to do is pick and choose the ones we want to share, it is a way to keep our speech organized.
