In order to make a detailed and useful outline you must understand the structure of a speech. The basic structure of a speech and how to make a simple outline has been explained on another page. On that page it was shown that there are three main parts to a speech; The Introduction, The Body, and The Conclusion. These three parts can be further broken down. The structure of these three main parts can be seen in the outline below.
A presentation outline is a way to organize your material logically and clearly. You should make an outline before you start to write a speech. In fact the writing of a speech comes towards the end of the speech creation process (see '11 Steps to Creating a Speech'). By using a presentation outline, you can "see" your speech and determine where you need to add or revise information. It provides the structure for the introduction, body, and conclusion of your speech. In addition, it can serve as your speaking script.
This outline consists of Four parts; The Header, The Introduction, The Body, and The Conclusion. Before you start writing your speech you should make an outline using these 4 headings and their sub headings.
1. Header
Topic
Decide on your topic.
Audience
Analyze your audience. What do they already know about your topic? Are they interested in the topic?
Refine and limit topic
Based on your analysis of the audience you may need to slightly change you topic, by either changing the focus, or the scale of the topic.
Purpose Statement
Write down a clear statement of what it is you intend to achieve. What is the purpose of your speech.
For example; The purpose of this speech is to inform the audience how to travel in
Organizational Method or Pattern
There is no single way to organize a speech. The pattern you will select will be determined by the information you have and the specific purpose you want to achieve. There are six basic patterns for organizing a speech:
§ Logical or topical
§ Chronological
§ Spatial
§ Classification
§ Problem-Solution
§ Cause-effect
Once you have completed these five parts of the 'Header', you are then ready to start planning the speech itself.
2. Introduction
Greeting and Attention getter
How will you greet the audience? How will you get the audience's attention? Think of a sentence that will make the audience sit up and listen.
Thesis Statement
The 'purpose statement' is where you simply state what your goal is. However, it is not possible to use this in the speech. You need to convert it to a 'thesis statement'. A thesis statement is one sentence in the introduction in which you declare your purpose and topic.
For example, a thesis statement of the above purpose statement would be; 'Traveling in
Credibility
If the audience do not know who you are, you will not only need to introduce yourself, but you will also need to 'establish your credibility'. This means you will have to explain to the audience why you are 'qualified' to speak about the subject.
Outline of main the points - overview
What are your main points?
Why?
Tell your audience why you think your presentation will be useful to them.
3. The body
Transition
Think of a sentence that will make it clear to the audience that you have finished the introduction, and are now about to start the body of the speech.
Main points and ideas
| Main ideas | Supporting ideas | Details & Examples | Visuals |
| Write your main points and ideas here | What ideas will you tell the audience to support your main points? | What details or examples do you have? | Will you have any visuals to help explain your points? |
main ideas = sub-topics
supporting ideas = sub-sub topics
evidence = details and examples
4. The conclusion
Transition
Think of a sentence that will make it clear to the audience that you have finished the body and are now coming to the end of the speech.
Restatement of main points
Summarize your main ideas and think of which piece of information you really want the audience to remember.
Closer
Think of a final sentence to help the audience remember your speech.
Note that the presentation outline is not a word-for-word script for the speech but an outline of ideas to serve as an organizational and presentation tool for the speaker.
Once you have finished the outline you are then ready to start writing.
Copy this into a word processor document, and use the headings to make your own outline for your demonstration speech.
Thank you.

How to Make an Informative Speech
An informative speech can be on any topic under the sun It has to be factual not and not one based on your own opinions. It can tell the audience how to do something such as baking a cake or the story of something such as the invention of the wheel. In fact an informative speech is a speech where you inform your audience about something or someone.
What to include:
:
A riveting opening. An informative speech is usually so factual that it is not exciting so your speech should start on a memorable note.
You must get your facts right so do your research. Give the dates and details.
Your subject should be relevant to your audience. If it�s an audience of new mums the history of the diaper might appeal but it won�t suit an elderly audience. They might prefer to hear the life history of someone who is of their own vintage such as a singer or historical figure.
You should ensure that the topic fits the time scale for your speech. You won�t be able to give the history of the world in 8 minutes but you might tell the story of Davy Crockett or that of Joan of Arc.
Add a touch of humour if possible. It always enhances a speech.
If you are a guest speaker addressing graduates you should speak about your own area of expertise.
Add a touch of humour to your speech. It�s a happy occasion.
What not to say:
Any opinion of your own. Save them for that book you�re going to write some day
Anything offensive to your audience. That does not mean that you have to make the subject of your speech an angel if, in fact, he was a criminal. Don't, however, say that you think he should have been hanged for his crimes. Just give the facts. The audience may not believe in capital punishment
Too many statistics. An audience cannot take absorb them and keep up with your speech.
How to End:
Your speech should end with a summary of the life story or the history of the topic you have given. So you might end with; "From the time he was born until the day he died in 1902 John Moore made motoring history." Alternatively, you might say. "The widget began its life as a scribble on a boy�s schoolbook and has now changed our world.".

Remember this, teenagers are 'The Golden Age Youth'. Don't blow this oppurtunity.

In my opinion,creating a speaking outline or more commonly referred to as a speech outline can be quite intimidating at first.
The guidelines for a speaking outline consist of four factors. First, it is important to follow the visual framework that applies in the preparation outline which involves using a consistent pattern of symbolization and indentation usually consisting of roman numerals, subpoints, and letters. The use of organized outlines makes it easier for the speaker to instantly see where they are in their speech and helps them to get back on track.
Another great tip is to make sure that the outline is legible. It is important to use lettering larger than you normally would and to leave extra space in between lines while providing ample margins, and only write on one side of margins.
Thank you.

Assalamualaikum and thank you for your post. What I know is that, when preparing for a speech, many people become confused by the differences between a speaking outline and a preparation outline.
In my opinion, your outline is, in many ways, the birth of your speech. Outlines are vital for two reasons: they allow you to test your ideas, and they provide a guide from which your finished speech will take shape. Most speakers go through several drafts before finally settling on a final outline. Requiring several revisions of yourself should not be cause for frustration; it is a natural part of the speech preparation process.
The first one or two outlines you will develop are often referred to as “rough drafts,” while your finished version is often called a “speaking outline.” It is advisable to go through at least one rough draft before your speaking engagement. A rough draft gives you the opportunity to actually see your ideas on paper. You can begin to rearrange your thoughts and practice pieces of your speech out loud to see how well your research supports your central idea. Rough outlines also tend to be far more detailed than a speaking outline should be. As you revise your outline you will be able to cut back on some of the material, giving yourself more flexibility when you actually deliver the speech.
Thank You. =)

hello everybody,
Writing an informative speech outline is simple and easy if you remember the basic elements of any good presentation. Every good speech has an introduction, a body with logically organized main points and sub points, and a conclusion. An outline includes the same elements.
To create an informative speech outline determine your topic and decide what the focus of your presentation will be. For example, you may want to talk about dogs as a general topic.
Choose whether you will talk about different breeds of dogs, training dogs, proper feeding and care of dogs or any other aspect of dogs that you choose. Narrow down your topic according to the amount of time you have for the speech you are giving.
Determine how you will open your speech. Asking a question or making a bold statement are two possible ways to get the attention of your audience. In the introduction you will also let the audience know what you are going to talk about in the body of the speech.
Then decide what the main point and sub points will be for your speech. The body of your informative speech outline will be made up of the main points and sub points.
Make sure your points are distinct and carry equal weight in terms of importance. Determine the logical order of your main points depending on the type of organization you will use.
Your informative speech outline can be organized topically, chronologically or spatially.
Topical speech organization means that the main points are different parts of the whole or different categories.
In a chronological organization the points are presented in the order of events.
Points in a spatially organized speech are presented by how they are placed in relation to each other, for example, left to right, east to west or north to south.
Finally, create a conclusion for your speech that summarizes your main points and leaves the audience with a positive impression.
Informative speech outline is an example of a very simple topically organized speech.The important elements of writing an informative speech outline are having an introduction, a body with main points and sub points, and a conclusion. Be sure to put your main points in a logical order according to a topical, chronological or spatial organization and you'll have a great informative speech outline!

Salam madam,
I had read your post about detailed speech outline. It shown that speech outline is very important to create speeches. It is because we can the guide on how to start a speech and to elaborate the body of the speech.
Speech outline need to be done because it can support our core message with a speech outline, and provides numerous examples. An outline is a blueprint for your presentation.
* It highlights the key logical elements. i.e. what points are being made to logically support the core message?
* It highlights the key structural elements. e.g. introduction, body, conclusion, stories, high-level concepts
* It links these elements together in a sequence, perhaps allocating very rough timings.
* It can also map out the transitions between elements, although this may be deferred to a later stage of preparation.
Note that all of these speech outline examples are appropriate for a short six to ten minute speech. Longer time windows will obviously allow for more detailed outlines. You may be able to customize one of the generic speech outline formats for your speech; more likely, you will need to craft your own to fit your situation. A few other things to consider:
* The granularity of your outline should be roughly one outline point per minute of speaking time, perhaps less for lengthy presentations.
* For presentations which are complemented with slides, your outline might include slide concepts, but no finer details.
o Remember that your presentation is much more than your set of slides. Your outline should reflect your speaking elements which the slides complement.
* When sequencing your outline points, try to avoid random order. Seek and extract the meaningful relationship.
o Chronological – e.g. a biographical speech
o Spatial – e.g. an entertaining travel speech
o Cause-effect – e.g. speech relating crime rate to drug use
o Low to high importance – e.g. reasons to exercise
o Broad vision to specific details – e.g. a management speech outlining new company direction
* Your outline is not the same as cue cards, but they are related (if you use cue cards). An outline contains high-level speech elements; cue cards might additionally contain selected speech details e.g. transition phrases, key words/phrases, key numbers, or punch lines.
So, remember when doing a speech outline, we must care about the topics, time and also the details of the speech. Thanks.

Assalamualaikum.
Speech outline is one of important part in preparing our speech. Here are the key points of speech outline:
1)Introduction - Make sure we have a powerful opening. Introduce our self briefly and start off our speech with impact by using a "hook" to grab our audience's attention right away. There is certain speech introduction we should avoid.
When we planning out our speech or presentation, know exactly what the main purpose of our talk is. Include only topics which are important, significant, and relevant to our audience. In other words, our speech has to be useful and of interests to our listeners.
2)Body of speech - Here we need to have sufficient supporting stuff to back up our key points and evidence. Show data, statistics, examples, photos or pictures using visual aids. Good relevant images are excellent to enhance and support our presentation or speech. Remember don't get carried away with two many visuals.
3)Conclusion - After finishing our main points, again just like our introduction, we need to finish off with a short but strong speech conclusion. It should consist of a reminder of the main points which we have just given, together with a memorable concluding remark.
Thank you...

Salam and hello there.
Creating a speech outline enables you to formalize your thoughts in order so you can construct your speech effectively. The actual writing for the speech comes last. If you prepare a speech outline, your speech writing will be far easier. An outline will not only organize your ideas but help you link your points. It will give your speech focus.
There are many different ways an outline can be written and you should do whatever works best for you but here are some points to keep in mind when creating your speech outline:
1. Divide your outline in to four sections – Topic, Introduction, Body and Conclusion.
2. Under Topic you need to note the topic of your speech, your objectives for the presentation, the type of audience you are presenting to and the main points you wish to cover. Setting out the information like this under Topic will help you analyze what your speech is really going to be about and how you would like to pitch it.
3. The Introduction section will look at setting up your speech. You may like to start with an ice breaker so note down how you will do this (with humor, anecdote, quote, etc) This ice breaker will in some way be related to the topic of the speech and it is here that you note the topic/ purpose of your speech. You should note the main points you will be discussing and why you will be using these points in your speech. Now you are ready to move on to the body of your speech.
4. In the Body section you will look at your main points further. You will need to move from the introduction with a transition sentence so note this down in your outline. Now write down all your main points and number them in priority. Try to have between three to five points. Keep in mind how much time you have for your speech and delete those that aren’t vital. List all the supporting arguments for each point. Decide the order in which you are going to present your points. Begin with the most important then go to the least and work back up to the main point and re-emphasize this.
5. The Conclusion will be reached with another transition sentence. In this part of the speech you will be re-summarizing the main points and emphasizing the most important ones. You will also need to finish with a sentence that leaves a lasting impression on your audience. You can think of this as a ‘take-away line’ that attendees will use when discussing the merits of your presentation.
Now that your outline is in place you can begin to write your speech.And that's all that i can share about. Thanks.

Assalamualaikum..
That was a good information you got on detail speech outline. As far as I understand, a detailed speech outline follows the same pattern as the basic speech outline, but it also contains subparts corresponding to the main parts of the outline.
Below, I have stated a description of a layout outline that allows you to plan and present your speech material in a logical way.
Introduction
-Greeting and Attention Gatherer: The way you greet the audience and capture the attention of your listeners.
-Thesis Statement: A sentence in the introduction specifying the purpose and the subject of the speech.
-Authority: The process of presenting yourself to the audience and establishing your credibility to persuade your audience that you are "trustworthy" enough to speak about the subject.
-Summary: An overview of the main points of the speech.
-Important Answer: An answer to the question: "Why do you think your presentation will be useful and/or valuable to the audience?"
Body
-Transition: A sentence signaling to the audience the end of the introduction and the beginning of the main part of the speech.
-Main points: A detailed presentation of the main points and ideas of the speech; a description of your supporting ideas along with examples and visuals to explain and/or clarify your points.
Conclusion
--Transition: A sentence signaling to the audience the end of the body part of the speech and the beginning of the concluding part of the speech.
-Paraphrasing of the Main Points: Restatement of your main points and ideas and emphasis on those parts of your speech you really want your audience to remember.
-Closing Statement: A final sentence, where you emphasize to the audience your key statement.
I hope these tips will be helping and i hope that I can learn more from you. Insya Allah..

First,I'll start by writing the topic of my speech with big fonts.That is to ensure that i will stay on track during the making of the outline.
Second,I will fin four body of the topic then join all the four body with transition.
Third,I will create an attention getter opening and introduction for my speech.
Lastly, I will make the conclusion and closure for my speech.
That is my personal way of doing a speech outline and that is the way that i find comfortable with.

the detail speech outline from me.Hope can accept it.
Let's imagine you have chosen to speak about the characteristics of three different breeds of dogs. Your informative speech outline might look something like this:
Introduction:
1. How many people here are dog lovers?
2. I have loved dogs as long as I can remember and today I will talk about my three favorite breeds.
Body:
I. Great Dane
i. Appearance
ii. History
iii. Personality
II. St. Bernard
i. Appearance
ii. History
iii. Personality
III. Bloodhound
i. Appearance
ii. History
iii. Personality
Conclusion:
1. When it comes to dogs, everyone has their favorite. Today I hope you've learned something about the three breeds I love best, the Great Dane, St. Bernard and the Bloodhound.
This informative speech outline is an example of a very simple topically organized speech. In a more focused speech presenting a detailed history of the Great Dane, a chronological order might be used and the main points would be specific events that are important in the history of the Great Dane.
The important elements of writing an informative speech outline are having an introduction, a body with main points and sub points, and a conclusion. Be sure to put your main points in a logical order according to a topical, chronological or spatial organization and you'll have a great informative speech outline!

Basic Speech Outlines
“An outline is a blueprint for your presentation.”
The basic speech outline template for structural elements is:
1. Introduction
2. Body
3. Conclusion
Similarly, the basic speech outline template for logical elements is the familiar advice:
1. Tell them what you’re going to say
2. Tell them
3. Tell them what you’ve said
Put these together, and you have the start of a generic speech outline:
1. Introduction — Establish topic and core message; list supporting points
2. Body
1. Supporting Point One
2. Supporting Point Two
3. Supporting Point Three
3. Conclusion — Recap main points; summarize core message; call-to-action

Sample Speech Outline - Step One - Preparation
Topic - decide what you are going to talk about
Audience - consider who will be listening to you and what aspects of your topic is best suited to meet their needs
Refine or Limit Topic - re frame in view of your audience -decide on the angle you will take and whether or not you need to limit the scope
Define Purpose - Is it, for example, to persuade, inform, demonstrate, entertain, or welcome? Is it a combination of these?
Organizational Pattern or Method - There are 6 basic organizational patterns or methods of arranging the body of your material. Choose the one most appropriate for your need.
These are:
* Cause - Effect Because event A happened, event B occurred.
* Problem - Solution The problem is X. The solution is Y.
* Logical This pattern suits a broad topic which is broken down into naturally occurring sub-topics.
Example:- Broad topic: Vocal Variety Sub-topics: rate of speech, use of pausing, voice tone, volume, articulation...
* Spatial or Geographic Topics dealing with physical space. Example:- The popular tourism areas in NewZealand
* Time or Chronological Historical topics dealing with the sequence of events or demonstration speeches, for example, how to bake a cake

* Benefit - What's in your speech for your audience? Why will they want to hear what you've got to tell them?
Sample Speech Outline - Step Three - Body
* Transition - the link between your introduction and the main body of your speech.
Note: If you're unsure about the exact nature of links or transitions and how they work or what they are, you'll find more about them, with examples, on my page how to write a speech
* Main Idea 1 - Supporting ideas - Details and examples - Visuals or props - Transition to.
* Main Idea 2 - Supporting ideas - Details and examples - Visuals or props - Transition to.
* Main Idea 3 - Supporting ideas - Details and examples - Visuals or props - Transition to.
