 Outline

An outline is a sketch of framework of your composition, showing the

important ideas and the order in which you are going to write about them
in an organized form.

An outline is the first step in the writing process. This gives you a brief
and orderly way of showing how ideas, facts and examples are related to
one another. Hence, you can organize your ideas or thoughts about a
subject by making a sentence or topic outline.
