There are three main types of outlines for speeches: 1) A working outline includes the specific purpose, thesis statements, main points, and transitions in sentence fragments. 2) A formal outline uses full sentences for the entire speech as it will be presented with a title page and bibliography. 3) A speaking outline is condensed for easier presentation without reading, using keywords and formatting to encourage eye contact. The process of outlining involves first creating a working outline, then transferring those ideas to a speaking outline with keywords, and optionally transforming it into a formal outline if required before practicing the speech.
