Organizational Patterns

The concept that I found to be the most helpful in preparing for my speech was the parts about the organizational patterns. The organizational patterns were the most helpful because if you have some kind of template in mind when you are doing your research or outline, it makes it much easier to go through information. With the pattern in mind that I wanted to use, I could read a page and say this helps here and that helps there. This made outline construction easier too because you knew what you were going to talk about. With a solid outline it is easy to practice and memorize pertinent information. Also, transferring the information to note cards was easier with a well thought out outline with a good organizational pattern.
