Essay Outline (Tuesday April 23)

What are your topics and subtopics?

How will you organize your essay?

Here are some steps to help you divide your paper into topics and subtopics:

1.       Write your thesis at the top of the paper in your notebook.

2.       What are your reasons for your position in the argument?

3.       How can you break down what your paper is about into smaller topics?

a.       Underline major parts in your thesis to help you find the important parts: people, groups, causes, effects, actions, things, motivations.

4.       Brainstorm a list of potential topics/areas of discussion that branch off of your previous list. These ideas are known as subtopics.

See the Google doc example outline to help you finish yours.

Or visit http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/544/1/

Your outline is homework and will be due tomorrow.
