Just like you have done in lesson 11, you will want to develop an outline covering your main points or issues. Your outline is the plan that will guide you through your presentation.

Presentation outlines often have a similar sequence, which commonly includes:

• A general overview
• A history or background of the issue
• A description of the current situation or problem
• Your proposed solutions — often together with requests for action
• A summary

Will this sequence work for you? Very likely so. But if you think a different sequence would be better, then by all means try it out.

The content of your outline should be based on your objectives above, and include the main points you want to get across.
