Dont forget to put your name, subject and section, and date of submission at the upper left portion of the first page of the speech plan. Make sure your pages are paginated from the first page to the last. 2. The speech plans must not exceed three pages each. 3. Speech plans should only be on the topics approved and not on any other topic. Should you need to change your topic/s, notify me first. Changing of topics is allowed only before the set deadlines for the passing of the speech plans. 4. Your speech plans should follow the three-level sentence outline format; meaning, your outlines must not exceed or be less than three levels (i.e. I-, A-, 1-), and there should only be one and complete sentence per item, no paragraphs. Make your sentences simple. 5. Make sure you know the proper symbol system (i.e. you have roman numerals first (first level), then capital letters (second level), then Arabic numbers (third and last level). Example: I. Lksdjflkjg A. Kjfhslkfg 1. lkdsjfgs;g 2. klgkfg B. skldfjlksg 1. lkfjkgj 2. lkdjgdfg II. slkdfjslkgj A. slkdfj;rg B. slkdfjlkg) Make sure you have at least two sub-topics per item except for the items in the last level of the outline. 6.
