Activity 4: Presentation Outline
You are now ready to create an outline for your presentation. Remember, a speech focuses on only the highlights or key points of the written version.
- Start by making a list of the key points of your research paper. Once you have a list, think about the best order for presenting your key points.
- Next, plan your introduction. How will you capture your audience’s attention at the start? How will you introduce your topic? How will you convince your audience this is an important topic for them? How will you introduce your main idea or thesis, and how will you forecast the direction of the rest of your speech?
- Think about how you might conclude. Remember, simply summarizing what you’d said can be dull. To end on a strong note, think of an idea, image, or example that your listeners will be able to remember. This idea, image, or example should bring them to think about your main point after your speech has concluded.
