On September 16th the web site for Johnson & Hunter, Inc. about Speaking Skills for Lawyers had a web page with an excellent brief article by Marsha Hunter on Notes as Your Visual Aid. Her four rules for a speaking outline are to:
Write big.
Write legibly.
Keep notes simple.
Keep notes handy.
There also is a YouTube video, Notes Are a Visual Aid for the Speaker.
Keep in mind that you could either use a piece of 11”×17″ ledger paper or tape together two 8-1/2” × 11” sheets to create a notes page the size of a restaurant menu.
The Public Speaking Project has a 16-page freely downloadable .pdf Chapter 8 about Organizing and Outlining.
