Chapter 7 & 8 Topic of Interest

One topic that I found interesting was the complete-sentence outline. In the past, I have always used this type of outline before the working outline because I have many ideas that I want to jot down quickly before I forget it. Writing simple or one worded sentences, like in the working outline, leaves me confused the next time I read it. I believe key words are important because it helps when implementing a speech, but using key words in a working outline confuses me. Although I believe the working outline provides good organization before the complete-sentence outline, but it is not useful for specific content.

  1. Hello Piper! Do you think that a complete sentence outline helps with the final speech as well, or just the planning process? Also, why do you think it's important to turn in a complete sentence outline as opposed to a key word, or bullet pointed outline prior to the speech?

  2. Hello Piper. I agree with you that one of the most interesting concepts was the complete-sentence outline. As well as what professor perez asked, I would like to know if you think that the complete sentence online helps with the final speech as well. I personally think that it does because when you have a complete sentence fully written, it is easy to summarize it and include it into your speech. Also I think you made a good point in the fact that the working outline provides good organization.
