Each main point should have one major idea and support the thesis. Main points are supported by sub-points which can also have sub-sub-points. Various organizational patterns are described like chronological, topical, problem-solution, and cause-effect. Outlines should include the essential parts of a speech and cite sources. Introductions should preview main points and capture attention, while conclusions should summarize main points and make an impact. Transitions should connect different thoughts.
