OUTLINE
Creating an outline begins with a reading of your prewriting notes. First, group related ideas
together, looking for major topics (which can be headings) and minor ones (which can be
subheadings, examples, or details). Define your major points, and rearrange them until they
make sense and follow a logical progression.You will be able to see the relationships between
your ideas as you outline them, and determine their importance (major point, minor point,
example, detail). If you need more supporting details or facts—subcategories—you can add
them now. As you outline your information, use one-word topics, short phrases, or write
out full sentences for each point on your outline.
If your prewriting notes are somewhat organized, you can use the outlining feature included
in most word-processing programs to create an outline. Otherwise, arrange them yourself in
a standard outline form using Roman and Arabic numerals and upper and lower case letters:
I.
A.
B.
1.
2.
a.
b.
Once you have completed an outline, revise and refine it by following these steps:
1. Write down your overall goal for your essay.What are you trying to say to your
readers?
2. Go over your outline and circle, underline, or highlight your major points or
images. Do they all support your goal?
3. Brainstorm words and phrases that will accurately and concisely express those
points (jot them down in the margin of your outline, or use a separate sheet of
paper).
4. Use this list and your outline to guide your writing. Do not allow yourself to
stray from your goal or your major points.本回答被网友采纳
