What is it?
An outline is a general plan of the material that is to be presented in a speech or a paper. The outline shows the order of the various topics, the relative importance of each, and the relationship between the various parts.
Order in an Outline
There are many ways to arrange the different parts of a subject. Sometimes, a chronological arrangement works well. At other times, a spatial arrangement is best suited to the material. The most common order in outlines is to go from the general to the specific. This means you begin with a general idea and then support it with specific examples.
Thesis Statement of Summarizing Sentence
All outlines should begin with a thesis statement of summarizing sentence. This thesis sentence presents the central idea of the paper. It must always be a complete, grammatical sentence, specific and brief, which expresses the point of view you are taking towards the subject.
Types of Outlines
The two main types of outlines are the topic outline and the sentence outline. In the topic outline, the headings are given in single words or brief phrases. In the sentence outline, all the headings are expressed in complete sentences.
Rules for Outlining
1. Subdivide topics by a system of numbers and letters, followed by a period.
Example:
I.
A.
B.
1.
2.
a.
b.
II.
A.
B.
2. Each heading and subheading must have at least two parts.
3. Headings for parts of the paper of speech such as, Introduction and Conclusion, should not be used.
4. Be consistent. Do not mix up the two types of outlines. Use either whole sentences of brief phrases, but not both.
Examples
Topic Outline

Thesis: The decisions I have to make in choosing college courses, depend on larger questions I am beginning to ask myself about my life’s work.

Thank you for your tips.I am interested at the rules to write an outline because i always forgot about it.Your post was really helpful.
Here i want to share some tips before you can make an outline.
There are many tips i found on internet and also in my class lesson.But,i think 2 tips i want to highlight here is the most important than the other tips.Please correct me if i`m wrong.
1.Choose a focused topic..
You must choose an appropriate topic base on your understanding.I have experience myself,where my lecturer ask me to find 3 item that represent myself.So i then choose 3 item but after that,i dont know what does it really mean,hahaha.
Of course it is not like choosing a topic,but what i want to explain here is,it is important that you know what you are going to talk and where to begin.
2.Analyze the audience..
You must know who they are, what their interests are, and their level of education regarding your chosen topic. This will allow you to decide the type of information provided within your speech, as well as the methods that will be used to present it.
Also, the methods used to write and present your speech will vary in respect to your target audience. If the speech is being presented to a grade school audience, it is not necessary to provide handouts and create a multimedia presentation.
However, if your target audience is well educated about your topic and is familiar with different types of speech outlines, it may be a good idea to provide as many supplemental materials as possible.
There you have it.I hope what i`m trying to say is delivered(forgive me for my broken grammar).Thank you...

A lot of people hate outlining.To me it's important because when applied properly, outlines can save you much time and can help you develop a great deal of better speech.
Outlining will not only help you see the general idea of your speech. It will also help you subdivide the body of your message into sub-topics according to the order of their significance. Outlining always helps, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot, but it always helps.

I would like to add some tips on how to write an outline.
1 Make a list of original ideas to use in your article. Think of what you can write that will hold the interest and attention of any reader.
2 Do your research, making clear notes of the information you find, and record all your sources.
3 Read through all your ideas and notes until you feel familiar with your topic. This will make writing your article easier and faster.
- Creating an outline -
You need a list of keywords when writing an online article. Use a free online keyword suggestion tool, or take the keywords from any guidelines you need to follow. Use keywords from the title, where a title is provided. When you create your own article title be sure it features keywords you can repeat within your article.
1 Outline the main points, using your own ideas or examples, and create a few powerful statements you want to appear in the finished article.
2 Think of appropriate sub-headings, and use keywords in subheadings for online articles.
3 Add a few brief notes under each subheading, using relevant facts from your research to support each point you make. Write a short introduction to each point you cover.
4 Give your article a great opening by writing a compelling sentence that introduces the focus of your article. Remember to include some keywords at the start of your online article.
5 Draw a conclusion from all your points. Use the final paragraph to sum up and recall what is suggested by the title. Repeat some keywords from the title in your closing paragraph.

Salam..madam, I want to share some tips how to Write an Outline....
How to Write an Outline
An outline is an important part of prewriting. Good prewriting skills are critical to achieving a high grade and include brainstorming, research, planning, and organizing – all of the activities that students should do before writing the rough draft. You often fail to spend enough time in the prewriting stage, particularly when it comes to planning what they will say and organizing the essay structure.
You can learn how to write an essay outline by following these instructions.
Writing Outlines
You should write the outline after they’ve narrowed their topic, gathered their research, and have a thesis statement. The outline does not need to be lengthy – one page is usually enough – as it is not a rough draft; it is simply an organized list of ideas for the essay.
Five Paragraph Essay Outline
A five paragraph essay outline has three parts: the introduction, the body, and the conclusion.
Introduction
The introduction contains a clear thesis statement that tells readers what the essay is about. The introduction also includes a summary of the three topic sentences that will be presented in the essay body.
Body
The five paragraph essay contains three paragraphs in the main body that are used to develop the thesis statement. Each paragraph has one topic sentence that is related to the thesis.
The outline of each paragraph should have four parts:
• a topic sentence,
• an explanation of the topic sentence,
• an example, piece of evidence, or quotation that supports the topic sentence, and
• an explanation of the significance of that example/evidence/quotation.
Conclusion
The conclusion gives closure to the essay and signals to the reader that the writer is finished his or her discussion. The conclusion should summarize the three topic sentences and discuss how they support the thesis statement. It is okay if the conclusion looks similar to the introduction, in fact, it probably will.
Style
The fastest way to write an outline is by using jot-notes that the student can build into full sentences later, during the essay writing.
You prefer to write complete sentences in their outlines. A full sentence outline takes longer to complete than a jot-note outline, but the advantage is that those sentences can go directly into the essay, making the essay writing quicker and easier.
You who begin writing outlines typically find that their academic writing skills improve dramatically. The five paragraph essay outline is easy to learn, however students should feel free to adapt it or make up their own outline until they find a style that works well for them and their topic.

Assalamualaikum Madam.
In this blog you have post many types of speech outlines that can be use by us in outlining a speech. Now I would like to share how to make a attention getting openner. Attention getting openner is important because it used to grabbing audience attention to hear our speech till the end.This attention getting openner can be made using this technique:
Testimonial,Evidence,Anecdote,Statement and Example.
Example: How to Start a Speech About Speaking
Let’s say you wanted to design, develop, and deliver a speech on the importance of public speaking.
1. Start Your Speech With… a Testimonial
Cite the behavior of a celebrity and/or quote an influential person the audience will know of or respect.
“If all my possessions were taken away from me with one exception, I would choose the power of speech. For by it, I would regain all the rest of my possessions.” That’s what former Senator and Secretary of State Daniel Webster once observed of the significance of effective public speaking. Likewise, Pericles, the Greek orator, also understood the significance of public speaking when he said: “The person who can think and does not know how to express what he thinks is at a level of him who cannot think.”
2. Start Your Speech With… Evidence
Present statistics or other data on the importance of public speaking.
The University of Michigan conducted a survey of 1,290 business school alumni who were recently promoted. They were asked what specific subject area prepared them the most for their business success. More than 70 percent cited effective communications as the top business skill — ahead of financial and business acumen!
3. Start Your Speech With… an Anecdote
Tell a story of someone directly affected by the benefits of public speaking.
Isabelle lived alone for the first six years of her life. Very alone in her silent world. She lived only with her reclusive mother who also could not speak. She was a deaf mute. Isabelle was so isolated from other people she had no chance to learn or practice speaking.
When authorities finally rescued her from her silent and isolated world, she seemed ineducable. But after being around people who could speak, Isabelle broke out of her silent world. In one week, she vocalized sounds. In two months, she spoke in full sentences. In 16 months she learned 2,000 words. And in 56 months her IQ tripled, in part due to the power of being around people who could speak.
4. Start Your Speech With… a Statement
Make a bold observation on the importance of public speaking.
Public speaking is the sine qua non* of leadership. Without it, you cannot lead. With it, you can “lead nations, raise armies, inspire victories and blow fresh courage into the hearts of men” as Adlai Stevenson eulogized Sir Winston Churchill.
* Ed. sine qua non: Latin for essential element.
5. Start Your Speech With… an Example
Cite a person whose career really took off because of public speaking.
After graduating from college with degrees in chemistry and microbiology, Wilma Subra figured she’d spend more time with a microscope than a microphone. But that was before she found out how many families were being exposed to high levels of chemicals and other toxins as part of her field work for a company in Louisiana. Her employer did not want to release the polluting information. So Wilma decided to start her own company, conducting environmental tests and reporting her results to government authorities and the media.
Wilma soon found herself in a variety of public speaking platforms. Her work directly cleaned up dozens of toxic sites across the country and saved thousands of lives in more than 800 communities over the last 20 years. Wilma credits her public speaking ability for much of her environmental campaign success. She says public speaking is the best way to “engage people and get them involved.”
Thank you.

Assalamualaikum. I have read this article. I get some tips on how to write an outline speech. I would like to share other tips with you that relate on how to write an outline.
Step 1: Define your targeted audience. Knowing your readership will help you to determine how much information and supporting facts will be necessary to support your main idea.
Step 2: Determine the type of outline to use. If the piece you're going to write is nonfiction, then you'll want to structure your outline so that your introduction conveys your main point and the subsections contain facts that support your central idea or argument. For fiction, begin with a synopsis of the story line and then break down subsequent subsections as appropriate, such as details about character development, their conflict and how they find resolution.
Step 3: Draft the basic outline by writing out your main points as a list, leaving adequate space between each for subsections. Make sure each point follows a logical progressive order to reach a conclusion. For fiction, this stage of the outline might highlight each turning point in the story.
Step 4: Label each main point in your outline with a Roman numeral. For example, I. Introduction
II. Main Body
III. Supporting Facts
IV. Conclusion.
Note that a period follows Roman numerals.
Step 5: Indent five spaces under each main point to add subsections. Then label each subsection with a letter, as in A., B., C., etc. Again, note the use of the period after each letter.
Step 6: Flesh out the subsections of your outline with third level sections (known as tertiary categories or points), if applicable. To do this, label the third level points by number.
Step 7:Write your paper, article or report following the outline you've created.

Thank you for the outline.
Outlines provide speakers with a clear and logical way to organize their speeches. They help speakers and audience members understand the organizational patterns of a speech while also providing speakers with a script of what to say. Often, speeches presented without an outline lack structure and depth and are difficult for audience members to understand.
So i also want to share about how to write a speech aoutline.
Step 1
Understand the parts of a speech. When preparing a speech outline, it is essential to know the main parts of a speech and their functions. Understanding these parts will aid in the development of an outline. An introduction presents the topic of your speech and informs the audience as to why they should listen. Speakers should present their main points in the introduction. The body is the heart of a speech. The main points are presented with details and supporting evidence. The conclusion summarizes what the speaker wants the audience to remember.
Step 2
Decide on an organizational pattern. Choosing how to organize a speech allows individuals to prepare the most effective outline. There are seven ways to organize a speech:
Logical or topical pattern: This method is used for informative speeches and is effective when speakers present several ideas that relate to each other.
Chronological or time sequence: People use this method in demonstration speeches, or when the main points relate by time.
Spatial or geographical pattern: This method is used when the main points relate to physical space.
Classification pattern: People use this method to relate main points all about parts of a larger unit.
Problem-solution pattern: This method is used for persuasive speeches when speakers have a problem and solution.
Cause-effect pattern: For when speakers have both the cause and effect of a problem.
Advantage-disadvantage pattern: This method is used when speakers have the advantages and disadvantages of a topic.
Step 3
Begin the speech outline with an introduction. Speakers must know what they want to say before they can put it on paper. Complete all research and gather all sources. The introduction includes a greeting and an attention grabber. It's followed by a thesis statement, the purpose and topic for the speech. It may also be wise to present your credibility and why you're qualified to speak on the topic. This is important if the audience is not familiar with you or your work. Present a brief overview of the main point and why the speech is useful to the audience.
Step 4
Outline the speech's body. The speech's body presents speakers' main points with supporting ideas. The speaker uses details and examples as evidence to support the main points. At times, speakers may use visuals to help the audience understand the main points of a speech. When creating an outline, make sure each main point is covered fully before moving on to the next main point. Speakers should not jump from one main point to another and then back again.
Step 5
Prepare the conclusion. This summarizes the speech's main points and emphasizes the points a speakers wants the audience to remember. It is not a time to introduce new material. Construct a final sentence with impact so audience members will remember your speech.
Thank you.

assalamualaikum to madam mimi,
How to write an outline,here i would like to share ways in making presentation outline.
Presentations are great tools for sharing information. The best way to make sure your presentation gets the points across you want, and to verify you will properly cover all the topics is to create a presentation outline first. By following these steps, your presentation outline will be formed in a way which provides the right amount of detail.
Step
1
Assign a presentation topic and title to your outline. It is a good idea to try to form your topic into a question to be answered.
Step
2
Determine the key points you want to cover in your presentation. You must have between three and five points to support or answer the topic.
Step
3
Include a high-level list of details you want to cover under each key point. This combined with the key points provides the body of the presentation.
Step
4
Outline where in the presentation there will be demonstrations. Make note of when you may use other audiovisuals and what those will be as well.
Step
5
Provide a conclusion and review of the topics covered. Note in your outline where you want to stop and ask questions of the group, or where you will provide them the opportunity to ask you questions.
Step
6
Write out the closing you intend to use. The closing must sum up the original question, answer the question or topic and include an "attention grabbing" ending.
Step
7
Determine and note what sections or pieces of information you can cover quickly or skip entirely if your presentation runs long. In addition, make some notes on information you can add if the presentation runs short and it must be a certain length of time.
Tips & Warnings in making an outline.
Note in your outline how much time you expect to spend on each key point. When you create the actual presentation this will help you determine how much detail to include.
Writing a speech can sometimes be as nerve-racking as giving the speech. Where do you begin? What format should you use? Will you need props?
The list of potential questions is endless, but getting started is a lot easier than you think. Assuming you’ve chosen your topic and done some preliminary research, you’re ready to sit down and write.
Now some folks prefer the free write approach. They simply start writing their speech out word for word and once they’ve gotten to the end, they simply make a few edits and they’re done. If that doesn’t work for you, then try creating an outline.
Before you can start your outline, it’s important to understand the three main parts of the speech. If you’ve ever taken a writing class, you’re probably already familiar with them and they don’t differ tremendously from their written counterparts.
1) Introduction
there is where your introduce your topic to the audience and provide a brief overview what you will be taking about.
2)Body
it contains your main points (reccomend for 2 until 5 depending on your time limit)as well as supporting evidence for each your main points.This is the part of your speech that is of most value to your audience.
3)Conclusion
In this part, you sum up your main points and then end with a call to action.
Example how to write outline
So you’re sitting down at your desk, armed with either pencil and paper or word processor, and ready to write. I find it helpful to start with writing “introduction,” “body” and “conclusion” so I’m not staring a blank document. I then list my main points under each section – in the introduction, they get listed under the phrase “we’ll discuss:” and in the conclusion, “we’ve covered:”
Then I take another pass where I’ll add a sentence or two to the introduction and conclusion and then list out my sub-points for each of my main points in the body. I’ll then make several more passes through the outline, filling in more information with each pass.
I usually don’t write out my speeches word for word because that’s not my speaking style. I come across more natural and sound less rehearsed when I work from an outline. So I’ll generally continue this process until I get to the point where I’m at the level of granularity that I desire – in some cases, a fully written out speech.
Everyone has a different writing style, so it’s important to find the technique that works best for you. You might also find that different situations call for different techniques. The key is to experiment and note what works and what doesn’t.

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. Now you can move into the actual speech itself.
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. Next you will need to present why you are giving the speech – what makes you able to speak knowledgeably on the topic. Following this, 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.

A layout outline for a custom speech contains three parts, which are:
I. 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?"

Here I want to share some tips of writing the 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. Now you can move into the actual speech itself.
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, for example, “Discuss the relevance of homework in today’s education system.” Next you will need to present why you are giving the speech – what makes you able to speak knowledgeably on the topic. “Jim asked me to be his Best Man because we’ve know each other since our first day at school.” Following this, 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.

Assalamualaikum madam..
An essay outline is an important part of prewriting. Good prewriting skills are critical to achieving a high grade and include brainstorming, research, planning, and organizing – all of the activities that students should do before writing the rough draft. Students often fail to spend enough time in the prewriting stage, particularly when it comes to planning what they will say and organizing the essay structure.
Writing Outlines
Students should write the outline after they’ve narrowed their topic, gathered their research, and have a thesis statement. The outline does not need to be lengthy – one page is usually enough – as it is not a rough draft; it is simply an organized list of ideas for the essay.
Introduction
The introduction contains a clear thesis statement that tells readers what the essay is about. The introduction also includes a summary of the three topic sentences that will be presented in the essay body.
Body
The five paragraph essay contains three paragraphs in the main body that are used to develop the thesis statement. Each paragraph has one topic sentence that is related to the thesis.
The outline of each paragraph should have four parts:
• a topic sentence,
• an explanation of the topic sentence,
• an example, piece of evidence, or quotation that supports the topic sentence, and
• an explanation of the significance of that example/evidence/quotation.
Conclusion
The conclusion gives closure to the essay and signals to the reader that the writer is finished his or her discussion. The conclusion should summarize the three topic sentences and discuss how they support the thesis statement. It is okay if the conclusion looks similar to the introduction, in fact, it probably will.
Thank you.
