Helps keep the audience on track: division: principle that if a pint is divided into sub points, there must be 2 or more sub points. Preparation outline: outline must be written in full sentences, only one sentence is allowed per bullet point/symbol, your outline should have paper citations. Generally, this is brief because in your outline you cite the source like you would verbally: language shouldn"t be too complex. Write the outline how you plan on saying it. Speaking outline: this outline isn"t written in full sentences, reasons to reduce information and words on speaking outline: If you speak from a preparation outline, it becomes a manuscript speech, and you"re less likely to adapt to the audience feedback.
