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.

Hello! You give a great point about the concept of “internal summaries.” I also have had found it difficult trying to find a great transitioning method to use effectively and smoothly during my speech outlines. Using the concept of “internal summaries” can surely make our speeches more smooth and make our ideas flow more effectively. This is a great concept to keep in mind when I write my next outlines for this speech class. Trying to express main points with this concept will also become easier. Overall internal summaries can help us more effectively move from one main point to the next main point. How will “internal summaries” help you during the actual speech and not just on the outline?
ReplyDeleteHello Kw33nspeaker! I am glad you found this concept useful. Sometimes we tend to over think ideas, and quite a few people do this with internal summaries. Internal summaries can be quite simple and overt when one starts to use them. What is it that you think you are going to do differently on the coming outline, than you did on the previous outline?
ReplyDeleteI too have trouble writing my outlines. They are so confusing. It is so hard to connect one point to the other.
ReplyDeleteA lot of the concepts in this chapter were useful, but after using "Internal summaries" things became clearer to me. It was one of the most useful concepts. I found that it helped me with my outline a lot. I had a lot of trouble writing my first outline for the cultural artifact, but with help from this chapter, it wasn’t as difficult. Writing my informative speech is much easier because of the useful concepts they provide in this chapter.
