Organizing and Outlining Your Ideas

Question 1 • FHS - Introduction to Speech

According to the Speaking Outline website, when you transfer your outline to note cards which of the following should you avoid?

Answer
A
writing your outline word for word on your notecards, highlighting certain words
B
writing key words on your notecards, keeping amount you write to a minimum
C
highlighting certain words or using color-coding to stay organized
D
writing long quotes or hard to memorize info on cards

Explanation

Note cards are meant to cue your speech, not reproduce the full outline. Writing the outline word for word can make you read from the cards instead of speaking naturally, so the key practice in choice A is what you should avoid. Use brief keywords and keep the amount of writing to a minimum.
