* Your exact thesis statement (The sooner you write and fine-tune this, the more coherent your essay will be.)

* A topic sentence for every paragraph/new topic

* Details to supplement your writing for each topic. (1-2 sentence summary of each detail.)

* 1-3 sentence summaries of your introduction and conclusion.

A simple format like this... if done well... is all you need for a great outline.

Main points, sub points in full sentences, the introduction, body and conclusion should all be labeled in a speech preparation outline…..A speech preparation outline should include your final bibliography.
