In the Problem Solution Outline you show a problem that needs to be solved and offer a solution. Grouping your public speaking presentation according to this method is especially effective for motivational speeches.
The Problem Cause Effect Speech not only describes the problem, but also the causes and effects of the problem and the solutions you refer to in your speech.
The third way to arrange your speech topics in which you try to persuade - call for action or changes - is the Monroe Motivated Sequence.
