Course Project Part 1: Speech Outline
Assignment Overview
For your speech outline, you will begin compiling ideas for your speech and consider how you can use research to support you in developing your speech. Possible topics include an aspect related to your field of study, topics in the news, or any other topics of interest. Keep in mind that talking about what you know and are passionate about can make the speech easier to write, as well as present.
This is the first of a five-part project to compose and present a persuasive or informative speech. You will present the final speech to your instructor only, in Week 11, via YouTube video. Review the Course Project Details to review the timeline of deliverables and the descriptions of the different parts of the project.
