Chapter 13 was obviously really informational when it came to outlines. I never knew that making two outlines would be more helpful then one, well at least I didn’t think about it like that anyway. I used this method for the Speech assigned this week to switch some things around and try it out. I don’t think I used a speaking outline in the same manner that they talk about in this chapter. They even want the outline broken apart to pauses which I find strange because for me I do that naturally after getting a read of the crowd.

I know that no matter what type of outline I make, I usually make a phrase outline. That way I can adapt my words naturally but still have the main idea written down so I don’t get lost. To me writing every sentence out is too much of a hassle and is overwhelming, while only writing a keyword can sometimes throw me off or mess me up.
