Part B: Outline Rough Draft
As you continue to develop the outline for your PowerPoint presentation, you will be confirming your thesis, main ideas, and adding a fourth source to your list of sources to be used. Remember, the first slide in the PowerPoint will act as your title slide. On that slide you will include the title of the presentation, your name as the presenter, the school’s name, and the date.
Include and submit the following components:
Title page (title of speech, name of presenter, audience prepared for – school or institution, date)
You can use this information to create your first slide in PowerPoint.
General topic, specific topic, and thesis statement
Three main points with at least two working sub points that will make up the body of the speech
Reference section with a minimum of four authoritative, outside scholarly sources
