Lesson/Topic: Outlining reading texts
Learning Target(s): Outlines reading texts in various disciplines
Reference: https://www.slideshare.net/joeyvaldriz/creating-reading-and-writing-outlines
Duration: 2 Weeks (Week 6)

Identifying a thesis statement in an academic text is an essential skill to help you enhance your
comprehension skill. Another skill you need to develop is making an outline of an academic
text. This skill is very essential especially if you are going to write any academic writing. This will
help you to properly arrange your thoughts so that the reader will easily understand your
work.

Outlining in writing helps you define and organize your topic and subtopics so that
you bring the reader on a logical journey from your thesis, through your supporting evidence,
to your conclusion.

An outline shows the framework of a text through division and subdivision of ideas. It is
another way of determining a text structure.

Outline Format

A traditional outline starts with a thesis statement (TS). This is a one-sentence statement of the
main idea of the article. Then the body article is divided and subdivided this way:

1. Main Ideas are labeled with Roman numerals. (1st level of an Outline)
2. Supporting ideas developing the main ideas are labeled with capital letters, indented.
(2nd level)
3. Details developing the supporting ideas are labeled with Arabic Numbers indented. (3rd
Level)
4. Minor details developing the details are labeled with small letters, indented. (4th level)

A one-sentence summary of the idea used in the Introduction and another for the Conclusion
may be added to the outline.

Your Outline may look like this:

Thesis Statement: ______________________________

I. Introduction
II. Main Idea
 A. Supporting Idea
B. B. Supporting Idea
1. Detail developing
2. Another detail developing

III. Main Idea

C. Supporting Idea
D. Supporting Idea

IV.Conclusion

Types of Outline

1. Sentence Outline – the heading of each level is one sentence.

Example:

I. There are two types of sports fan.

A. The first type is the spectator.

B. The second type is the analyst.

II. Sports fans express their involvement in the game in several ways.

2. Topic Outline – the heading of each level is a phrase.

Example

I. Two types off sports fan

A. The spectator
B. The analyst

II. Ways sports fans express their involvement of the game.

An outline also help a reader understand the topic of a reading by looking at the

organization of the details in the passage. Readers can use two types of outlines when breaking
down the information in a reading: formal outlines and informal outlines.

Formal outlines are more traditional and structured. They follow a set pattern and use a
combination of Roman numerals, letters, and numbers to show a hierarchy of information
based on the major details and minor details or ideas.

Formal outlines look like this:

I.    Main Idea I.   Gardens

      A. Major Supporting Detail      A.  Vegetable
           i. Minor Supporting Detail            i. In-ground gardens
           ii. Minor Supporting Detail            ii. Potted gardens
      B. Major Supporting Detail      B.  Flower
           i. Minor Supporting Detail            i. Raised beds
           ii. Minor Supporting Detail            ii. Natural
       C. Major Supporting Detail      C.  Water
           i. Minor Supporting Detail            i. Fountains
           ii. Minor Supporting Detail            ii. Ponds
 Informal outlines are less structured, but they still present an overview of the placement of
information in a reading.

Informal outlines look like this:

Main Idea Planning a home garden

    - Supporting Idea     - Vegetable garden
    - Supporting Idea     - Flower garden
    - Supporting Idea     - Water garden
 

Example:

Review the short reading and notice how it can be outlined to show the major details and the
main idea, using both formal and informal outlines.

Building Your Own Backyard Pond

Building your own pond takes significant planning. Before you begin, you will need to
make some important decisions about what type of pond you want, where you want it,
and how much time you have to dedicate to its care and maintenance. Once planned
and built, your pond will be a source of beauty that can last for many years.

The first item you must consider is what type of pond you want. Do you want a small
bubbling fountain? Perhaps you would like a pond to showcase different plants. You may
also desire a fishpond, maybe with a waterfall or stream. Different types of ponds require
different construction, so knowing what you are looking for will help you when making
your pond plans.

Next, you should think about where you want to place your pond. Do you have a large or
small yard? Will your pond be the focal point of your yard or do you want to place it in a
corner where it will be out of the way? Your pond should fit the design of your yard, so
look around at the design of your space. Ask yourself how your pond will fit in with the
landscaping you already have; or if you are designing your yard around your pond, ask
yourself what type of environment you are trying to create.

Finally, before constructing your pond, you need to decide how much time you have to
care for it. Maintaining a pond involves cleaning it, changing the filter, and using the
 correct products to maintain the water and the health of the plants and fish (if any). This
maintenance can require a good amount of work, but if you know in advance what you
want, you can create the best pond for you.

Ponds make a wonderful addition to any backyard. The sound of bubbling water and the
presence of wildlife can create a peaceful place for all lovers of the outdoors. Get started
planning your own backyard retreat today!
