In my opinion, Facts and Statistics are most important when the presenter is trying to persuade the audience or simply give insight on a particular topic. For instance, for an informative speech on AIDS, statistics can provide the audience with specific information such as an age group that is infected. In Addition, facts can provide the audience with data on when the AIDS virus started, and information on treatments. Although "facts and stats" are great fillers, for some speeches they are better left out. For instance, The Debutante Ball was my first speech topic, and although I had a lot of facts to present about the history, and certain criteria, there was no necessity for "stats."

Useful Thinking!!!
I found several concepts useful within the text; however there was one that stuck out the most. Mainly because I seem to always mess this up while writing an outline. The concept of "internal summaries" ensures a method to keep your outline connected. The purpose of internal summaries is to allow the author to effectively move on to the next main point. While writing the Cultural Artifact Outline, I found it very difficult to find a transitioning method that would empower my outline/speech. Yet, with the exploration of this concept, the transitioning step in my Informative outline should convey smoothly.
