The Stability of a Good Outline

• In Event: G.I.F.T.S. Session III

Abstract

It is hard to gain students’ compliance regarding the importance of effective outlining and delivery prior to the grade of a C+ on speech. During this activity you will ask your students to perform someone else’s speech and try to pass it off as their own. Though involving a bit of deception on your part (more about that later), it is meant to improve their outlining abilities and highlight the importance of controlled delivery.
