What are three ways of displaying supporting material in a preparation outline, and what are the benefits and drawbacks of each method?
What will be an ideal response?
- To display support in an outline, a speaker can reproduce supporting materials immediately below each point. This makes the outline easy to follow but will make it longer.
- A speaker can use footnotes and put supporting materials at the end of the outline. This preserves the structure but makes the speaker jump from outline to supporting material and back.
- A speaker can attach a bibliography showing sources. This preserves structure and shows, in general, where supporting materials came from; however, it will not match up specific evidence with specific ideas.
