Submit an outline of your research paper that details how you will organize your thoughts and arrange your ideas for your final research paper. Use the guidelines to complete this task, and format your outline according to the “alphanumeric outline” guidelines demonstrated here at the OWL at Purdue website: Types of Outlines // Purdue Writing Lab.
For further reference regarding outlines, also consult the How to Outline page and the Outline Components page.
These are resources to guide you, but not a set of finite rules. I’m less concerned with formatting, and more about how you are arranging your ideas! See the attached file for a breakdown of the components that we discussed in class. Feel free to use this format as a template, substituting your own ideas. Just make sure that each paragraph is clearly defined on your outline, containing a Topic Sentence, points of support or elaboration, and relevant quotations and citations for your source material.
Remember that each point in your outline should be a complete sentence.
