1. Persuasive Speech: How to write an outline Quick Write Outline Notes Teacher Example Student Example Scale

2. Quick Write: Laws What law would you like to see enacted which would help people? How would it help?

3. Objective, Agenda, & Homework Objective: Students will identify the 4 key components used in writing an outline. Agenda: ▫Quick Write ▫Outline Notes ▫Teacher Example ▫Student Example ▫Scale Requirements Homework: ▫Rewritten Anthem papers are due Friday 2/28! ▫Read your choice book and study the Greek roots.

4. There are 4 key components required to write an effective outline. Parallelism Coordination Subordination Division

5. Parallelism—How do I accomplish this? Each heading and subheading should preserve parallel structure. If the first heading is a noun, the second heading should be a noun. Example: ▫Choose Desired Colleges ▫Prepare Application ("Choose" and "Prepare" are both verbs.)

6. Coordination—How do I accomplish this? All the information contained in Heading 1 should have the same significance as the information contained in Heading 2. The same goes for the subheadings (which should be less significant than the headings). Example: ▫Visit and evaluate college campuses ▫Visit and evaluate college websites  Note important statistics  Look for interesting classes (Campus and website visits are equally significant, as are statistics and classes found on college websites.)

7. Subordination—How do I accomplish this? The information in the headings should be more general, while the information in the subheadings should be more specific. Example: ▫Describe an influential person in your life  Favorite high school teacher  Grandparent (A favorite teacher and grandparent are specific examples of influential people.)

8. Division—How do I accomplish this? Each heading should be divided into 2 or more parts. You cannot have only one of a particular level. Example: ▫Compile resume  List relevant coursework  List work experience  List volunteer experience

9. Numbering 1 st = Roman Numerals ▫I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, etc. 2 nd = Capital Letters ▫A, B, C, D, E, F, etc. 3 rd = Numbers ▫1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. 4 th = Lower Case Letters ▫a, b, c, d, e, f, etc. 5 th = Small Roman Numerals (if necessary) ▫i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii, viii, ix, x, etc.

10. Teacher Example Does the example have a thesis statement? ▫If so, highlight or underline it. ▫If not, write a possible thesis statement. Does the example refer to the counter-argument? ▫If so, circle it. ▫If not, write what the counter-argument should be. Does the example include logos, pathos, and ethos? ▫Label each. Does the example’s format include parallelism, coordination, subordination, and division. ▫Label each.

11. Scale Requirements—We will begin writing the outline in class tomorrow! 5.0 Requirements In addition to Score 4.0, the student Includes more than 2 examples/evidence for each section AND a more perceptive/thoughtful, in-depth analysis of those examples/evidence Logically orders outline with strongest argument last and threads arguments together with common ideas/transitions Writes with no errors and uses varied and sophisticated language to show persuasive rhetoric

12. Student Example How would you score the example from a student? Why would you give it that score? Consider the following: ▫Does the example have a thesis statement? ▫Does the example refer to the counter-argument? ▫Does the example include logos, pathos, and ethos? ▫Does the example’s format include parallelism, coordination, subordination, and division.
