What is Outlining?
Outlining is a tool we use in the writing process to help organize our ideas,
visualize our paper's potential structure, and to further flesh out and develop points. It
allows the writer to understand how he or she will connect information to support the
thesis statement and the claims of the paper.
To outline, you must create a linear, organized plan for your paper that shows
the main ideas that you will discuss as well as their relationships within the paper.
I. MAIN IDEA
A. Subsidiary idea or supporting idea to I
B. Subsidiary idea or supporting idea to I
1. Subsidiary idea to B
2. Subsidiary idea to B
a. Subsidiary idea to 2
b. Subsidiary idea to 2
It is up to the writer to decide on how many main ideas and supporting ideas
adequately describe the subject. However, traditional form dictates that if there is a I
in the outline, there has to be a II; if there is an A, there has to be a B; and so forth.
The following outline is for a 5-7-page paper discussing the link between
educational attainment and health. Review the other sections of this page for more
detailed information about each component of this outline!
