III. Concept Notes

An outline is a tool for organizing ideas. It is used not only as a pre-writing

strategy, but also as a post-reading activity. When preparing an outline, you can
either use a decimal outline or an alphanumeric outline. A decimal outline only
uses numbers as labels while an alphanumeric outline uses both letters and
numbers as labels.
A topic outline uses words and phrases as its entries. It can be discussed and arranged in a
number of ways.

A sentence outline uses complete sentences as its entries. You use a sentence outline when the
topic being discussed is complicated and requires details.
V. Performance Task (15 points each)

graphic organizer, outline using words and phrases only, and outline using complete sentences.
