Write a 2 page outline persuasive speech paper on Why people
should donate blood, using the following below:
Format
This outline must be at least 2 pages long and use 12-point font.
Use appropriate coordination and subordination. Use full
sentences, including subjects and verbs for the main ideas or
main points and the 1st order of subordinate ideas or sub-points.
Consistently use either full-sentence or list form for 2nd -order
sub-points supporting the same 1st order sub-point. Usually use
list form for 3rd order, 4th order, and 5th order sub-points.
Enhance the readability of the outline. Use only one idea per
point, only one sentence per point, single-space each point, and
double-space vertically between points. Leave a line of white
space between each point at every level.
Transitions between major sections and the main points should
be provided in the outline (enclosed in parentheses). Use
transitions to move the audience’s attention from one section to
another or from one main point to another.
Use a consistent pattern of indentation. Type main points flush
with the left margin. Indent 5 spaces for 1st-order sub-points,
10 spaces for 2nd-order sub-points,
Use the following system to label the points in the body:
Main Points: upper case Roman numerals [I, II, III, IV, V]
1st -order sub-points: upper case letters [A, B, C, D, E]
2nd -order sub-points: Arabic numerals [1, 2.3, 4, 5]
Content
Specific Purpose:
Formulated into one sentence, the specific purpose identifies
the precise response the speaker desires from the audience
(understand). Do not use infinitive phrases, i.e., “to inform” or
“to persuade.” Place the label for the specific purpose sentence
flush with the left margin.
Thesis Sentence:
The thesis sentence (addressed to the audience, not the
instructor) summarizes everything the speaker intends to say
during the speech. Place the label for the thesis sentence flush
with the left margin.
Proposition Statement:
The
introduction
should gain attention, orient the audience by stating the topic,
offer a reason for listening, and preview the body of the speech.
The introduction (which may be outlined or written word-for-
word) is designed to
gain the attention of the audience;
establish the speaker's credibility; and
orient the audience to the body of the speech.
The
body
must contain 3 main points using patterns of organization
covered in the textbook; other patterns of organization must
have prior approval by the instructor. Each main point must be
well supported by 3 1st-order sub-points designed to illustrate
the main points (examples, illustrations, facts, quotations, etc.)
Don't overload the audience with information. Move from
simple to complex ideas. Move from familiar to unfamiliar
ideas.
The body develops your ideas, condenses your thinking and
research, ensuring that you have done an adequate job of
preparation. The entire outline should contain more material
than you have time to use in your speech and must be at least 2
pages in length. You must use three main ideas and three
subordinate (sub-points) points for each main point or higher-
level sub-point.
The
conclusion
should restate or summarize the main points and communicate a
sense of finality (verbally or nonverbally indicate that you have
finished talking). You may end with a story or quotation.
The
conclusion
(which may be outline or written word-for-word) is designed to
provide the audience with a sense of finality,
leave the audience in the proper mood, and
focus the audience's thinking on your topic.
