2. Preparing an outline
When you write an outline, you list very briefly and in the proper order the ideas you
wish to include in your presentation. Then, you write the presentation following the
outline. If your outline is well arranged, your presentation will be well arranged.
The key to outlining is to identify main topics and break them down into
subtopics. A good outline meets three basic requirements:
1. Each idea must relate to and help prove the main point.
2. Each unit of the outline should contain only one idea.
3. Ideas should not be repeated or overlap each other (express the same ideas).
For topic division, use Roman numerals (I, II, III, and so forth). For subdividing a
topic, use capital letters, (A,B,C, and so forth, indenting them evenly. If you want to
subdivide still more, use Arabic numerals (1,2,3, and so forth) and indent again. For
even more subdivision, indent again and use lower-case letters (a,b,c, and so forth).
Place a period after each number of letter.
The form for an outline is as follows:
I. ______________________________
A.______________________
1.____________________
a.___________________
b.__________________
2.__________________
B._______________________
1____________________
2________________________
a.____________________
b.__________________________
3_____________________________
II._______________________
A.
B.
C.
3. Two different kinds of Outline
There are two kinds of outline: a topic outline and a sentence outline. Topic outline is
the most common form of an outline.
The topic and subtopics are noted in brief phrases or single words and are numbered
and lettered consistently. No punctuation is needed after the topic in a topic outline.
Sample topic outline.
