For example, if you choose PPP then you need to clearly state the three points below and support each point with at least one quote. If you choose PCS, you need to clearly state the problem identified, the cause of the problem, and the proposed solution. Then you need to support each with a quote. This applies to whichever technique you choose. Overall Structure Organizational Technique-Body Only (Choose Only One) PCS (Problem Cause Solution) _FCR (Findings Conclusions Recommendations) CCS (Compare Contrast Summary) Other (Name it) PPF (Past Present Future -Time) PAR (Problem Action Result) PPP (Point Point Point) 1: 2: 3: Transitions Identify 3 types of transitions used in the speech.
