Hello everyone:

Sometimes students do not understand what is required for an outline, so I have given you a sample of what is expected for a freshman level communications class that has a group project due. They are to discuss a movie and each team member must have three scholarly sources.  Here is a sample of outline formatting:

Names of the team members

COM1010

Group Presentation Outline and Works Cited

Name of the speech should be centered                                                            on the page (if you want a title)

I. Introduction: please make this a full paragraph.

II. Nonverbal communication is……..

1. Source #1’s point

2. Source #2’s point

3. Source #3’s point

III. Verbal communication can be defined as…..

1. Source #1’s point

2. Source #2’s point

3. Source #3’s point

IV. Emotions can be………..

1. Source #1’s point

2. Source #2’s point

3. Source #3’s point

V. Conclusion: please write a full paragraph.

You may have sub-sub-points that describe the movie under what the scholars are saying, but please DO NOT make the outline into a plot summary.

Your Works Cited page should be attached, with all sources in alphabetical based on the last name of the author.

I hope this example helps you with any outlines you are required to write.

Best,

Dr. Sheri
