Informative Speech Sample Outline
RESOURCES
The sample below is a speech about Dogs.
For example, you may want to talk about dogs as a general topic.

Choose whether you will talk about different breeds of dogs, training dogs, proper feeding and
care of dogs or any other aspect of dogs that you choose. Narrow down your topic according to the
amount of time you have for the speech you are giving.

Determine how you will open your speech. Asking a question or making a bold statement are two
possible ways to get the attention of your audience. In the introduction you will also let the
audience know what you are going to talk about in the body of the speech.

Then decide what the main point and sub points will be for your speech. The body of your
informative speech outline will be made up of the main points and sub points.

Make sure your points are distinct and carry equal weight in terms of importance. Determine the
logical order of your main points depending on the type of organization you will use.

Your informative speech outline can be organized topically, chronologically or spatially.

•Topical speech organization means that the main points are different parts of the whole or
different categories.
•In a chronological organization the points are presented in the order of events.
•Points in a spatially organized speech are presented by how they are placed in relation to each
other, for example, left to right, east to west or north to south.
Finally, create a conclusion for your speech that summarizes your main points and leaves the
audience with a positive impression.

This informative speech outline is an example of a very simple topically organized speech. In a
more focused speech presenting a detailed history of the Great Dane, a chronological order might
be used and the main points would be specific events that are important in the history of the Great
Dane.

The important elements of writing an informative speech outline are having an introduction, a body
with main points and sub points, and a conclusion. Be sure to put your main points in a logical
order according to a topical, chronological or spatial organization and you'll have a great
informative speech outline!
