Building your working outline

Now that I've chosen my topics for all my speeches, I can now learn how to build my outline. In the book, it shows me that I'm in the "working" outline, where the functions are to assists initial topic development and research. I've never done an outline for a speech before, although I've done outlines for notes in class, essays,etc; this looks far different than that. To begin with my speech topic, I must brainstorm for ideas that I may want to include in my speech. I'm actually excited for the topics I've chosen, especially my persuasive speech!!! :) I hope the professor approves it, because I'm excited to begin my outline. I really want to work very hard on my persuasive speech because it is our last speech, but it's also one that I need to argue my points to the class in order for the speech to do well in itself. Also, the thesis for your speech is very important. As in essays, we're always going to need a thesis to begin our essay, without it, we are left without knowing what point you are trying to prove in your paper.
