29. Briefly explain a preparation outline.
ANSWER:
Answers will vary. Some people refer to the first version of wording main points as a
preparation outline. It provides a draft of main points but doesn’t do so in the form of
complete sentences. The relationship between each main point and the speech goal
must be specified in a speech outline. The main points should follow parallel structure.
Parallel structure means the main points follow the same structural pattern. It is not a
requirement, but it can help the audience recognize the main points when you deliver
your speech. It can be achieved by numbering each sentence or starting each sentence
with an active verb. REJ: Please see the section “Develop the Body” for more
information.
