Body of the Speech

The body contains the central portion of the speech, including the main points, the multiple layers of subordinate points, and the links What you tell the audience about the topic Main points are the essential ideas you must cover or the main claims (most will have two or three main points) Subpoints (subordinate points or supporting points) offer information to support and relate back to the main point -you can have multiple layers of subpoints Links act much like hyperlinks on your computer, which serve to make a logical jump between two places on your computer -links will make logical connections between parts of your speech

Employ Subordination

The components of your outline following each main points should proprely subordinate to the point above them any statement that comes under a point must not be to equal to or of greater importance than the point directly above it (insert because and see if it makes sense)
