Outline for Research Paper

In this discussion, create and post your outline for that paper, making sure that you use complete sentences for all elements of the outline. Include your thesis statement in the outline in bold font. Remember that, if you have one sub-heading, you should have at least one more. Do not make elements of your outline large blocks of text; usually a sentence or two will suffice for each element. This video has some good ideas about outlining:

Outlining and Introductions

To begin this lesson, you will review the notes you have been taking and begin developing a framework of support for your thesis statement. You will identify how body paragraphs will set forth the elements of your argument and how the reader will be moved from one body paragraph to the next.

The assignment of building a sentence outline gives you the opportunity to clearly identify the elements of each body paragraph, much more clearly that building an outline of individual words or phrases. The sentences give your framework clarity and specificity.

The outline should include both your introduction and conclusion . You will also work on drafting the introduction of your paper. You will not have a second chance to make a first impression, so your outline needs to be very well done. The reader needs to know right away what both your topic and your stance on that topic are. The reader also needs to be hooked, that is, immediately engaged enough in your topic to keep reading.
