For the first part of your assignment you will submit a complete sentence outline (NOT a topic outline or a written transcript!) You can review a sample outline of an Informative Speech on pages 211-213 of your textbook, or in an example attached above.

In an effort to help you understand this assignment, a template has been offered. Please use it to outline your speech.

Remember that visual aids are not required, yet highly encouraged (for extra points). If you have visual aids, you will need to show them when presenting the speech, as well as list them in your outline. If you are using sources, please make sure your references are formatted using APA 6th edition style.

Please note that your submissions are checked through SafeAssign for compliance with academic integrity policies. Reports are available to you immediately upon submission. Please check your outlines for academic integrity - if your work shows any similarity issues, you are responsible for fixing these issues PRIOR to final submission. Outlines that are not accurately cited, or have too high of a similarity index will not be accepted for grading.
