    Assignment 6: Presentation outline

    Do not write full language/complete sentences anywhere else than just in the introduction and the conclusion sections. In the body section, only note down key words and short phrases. The outline is a supportive plan for the content and organisation, NOT a script of the speech.
    
    See also the example outline attached below.
    

    CONTENT of the outline:
           -        Planning section
           -        Introduction, written out in full language, as you would speak it.
           -        Names of main topic areas (as headings)
           -        Possible subtopics (in note form, as key words or phrases only)
           -        Main transitions where indicated in the outline
           -        The conclusion section, written out in full language, as you would speak it
           -        List of references to your sources and for further learning (in the appropriate bibliography format)
    

    The purpose of the outline is to help you plan the content and organisation of the presentation effectively as well as to make it easier for you to detach yourself from the written medium. Planning and practising the presentation based on an outline will help you stay on focus during the speech and speak freely,  in your own words.
