The organization/outlining unit in the basic Public Speaking course can be made more interesting by using a color-coded instructional method that captivates students, facilitates understanding, and provides the opportunity for interesting reinforcement activities. The two part lesson includes a mini-lecture with a color-coded outline and a two follow-up group activities. Color-coding helps students instantly visualize the relationship of ideas and makes it easy to ask questions that encourage student participation. (Contains a black and white version with color name labels of an outline "Organizing the Body of a Speech.") (SC)
