WHAT IS IT
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.

It is a helpful guide in organizing your paper. Outlines give a visual

structure to your work and are used to show relationships and hierarchies
within your content.

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.

Organizing your idea in an outline

• Begin by answering the question that leads to your thesis statement.
• Use the two or three main ideas from this technique as your main heading.
• Write subtopics for each main idea.
• Write the supporting details for each of the subtopics.

Use various outlines based on the structure you prefer

• Sentence outline – Using complete sentences as entries
• Topic outline – Using words and phrases as entries.
• Paragraph outline – Using paragraphs as entries.
Guidelines in Writing an Outline:
• Place the title at the center above the outline.
• Every level of the outline must have at least two items (I and II, A and B, 1
and 2).
• Put a period after each numeral and letter.
• Indent each new level of the outline.
• All items of one kind (roman numerals, capital letters, Arabic numerals)
should line up with each other.
• Capitalize the first letter of each item.
• The terms Introduction, Body, and Conclusion do not have to be included in
the outline. They are not topics; they are merely organizational units in the
writer’s mind.

Basic outline form

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

II. MAIN IDEA

A. Subsidiary or supporting idea to II
B. Subsidiary idea to II
C. Subsidiary idea to II

III. MAIN IDEA

 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.

Example Sentence Outline

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!

I. Introduction
A. Current Problem: Educational attainment rates are decreasing in the
United States while healthcare costs are increasing.
B. Population/Area of Focus: Unskilled or low-skilled adult workers
C. Key Terms: healthy, well-educated

Thesis Statement: Because of their income deficit (cite sources) and general
susceptibility to depression (cite sources), students who drop out of high
school before graduation maintain a higher risk for physical and mental health
problems later in life.

 D. Gaps in the Research: Little information exists exploring the health
implications of the current conditions in low-skilled jobs.

III. Major Point 1: Conditions of employment affect workers' physical

health.
 A. Minor Point 1: Unskilled work environments are correlated highly
with worker injury (cite sources).
 B. Minor Point 2: Unskilled work environments rarely provide
healthcare or adequate injury recovery time (cite sources).
IV. Major Point 2: Conditions of employment affect workers' mental
health
 A. Minor Point 1: Employment in a low-skilled position is highly
correlated with dangerous levels of stress (cite sources).

sources)

VI. Major Point 4: People with more financial worries have more stress
and worse physical health.
 A. Minor Point 1: Many high-school dropouts face financial problems
(cite sources).
 B. Minor Point 2: Financial problems are often correlated with
unhealthy lifestyle choices such unhealthy food choices,
overconsumption/abuse of alcohol, chain smoking, abusive
relationships, etc. (cite sources).

VII. Conclusion
 A. Restatement of Thesis: Students who drop out of high school are
at a higher risk for both mental and physical health problems
throughout their lives. 60
 B. Next Steps: Society needs educational advocates; educators need
to be aware of this situation and strive for student retention in order to
promote healthy lifestyles and warn students of the risks associated
with dropping out of school.

Example of Topic Outline

Several aspects must be considered in writing a topic outline.

1. Recall that all headings and subheadings must be words or phrases, not
sentences.

2. Also, the wording within each division must be parallel.

3. Finally, as in any outline, remember that a division or subdivision cannot be

divided into one part; therefore, if there is an "A" there must be a "B," and if
there is a "1" there must be a "2."

I. Family Problems
A. Custodial: Non-custodial Conflicts
B. Extended Family
C. Adolescent's Age
II. Economic Problems

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES

Activity ;
Directions: Read and analyze the text very carefully and create a topic
outline or a sentence outline. Write your answer in your notebook.
Your teeth and the structure of your mouth play important roles in your
ability to eat, speak, and stay healthy. Everyone has several different types of
teeth. Each type has a unique name with specific number of teeth, has
development, has a slightly different shape, and performs different jobs and
purpose.

The teeth in the front of your mouth, and the easiest to see, are called
incisors. There are four incisors on the top and four on the bottom. Incisors
are usually the first teeth to erupt — at around 6 months for your baby teeth,
and between ages 6 and 8 for your adult set. Incisors are shaped like tiny
chisels with flat ends that are sharp. These teeth are used for cutting and
chopping food. They are the first teeth to chew most food we eat.

The pointed teeth on either side of your incisors are called canine
teeth. People have a total of four canine teeth, two on top and two on the
bottom. Primary canines generally appear between 16 and 20 months, with
the upper canines coming in just ahead of the lower canines. Because they
are pointed and sharp, they are used to tear food.

Next to your canine teeth are the premolars. You have eight
premolars in all, four on top and four on the bottom. The first premolars
appear around age 10, with the second premolars arriving about a year later.
They have a completely different shape than both the incisors and canines.
That is because premolars are bigger, stronger, and have ridges – all of which
makes them perfect for crushing and grinding food.

Finally, there are your molars. You have eight of these, four on the top
and four on the bottom. Molars are the toughest of the teeth. They are wider
and stronger than premolars, and they have more ridges. Molars work closely
with your tongue to help you swallow food. The tongue sweeps chewed food
to the back of your mouth, where the molars grind it until it is mashed up and
ready to be swallowed.

By age twenty, four more molars grow in the back of the mouth, one in
each corner. These are called the wisdom teeth. They appear between 12 and
28 months, People do not need wisdom teeth now, but many years ago these
teeth were necessary to help people chew tough plants, which were an
important part of the human diet. Now, many people get their wisdom teeth
pulled by a dentist, a doctor who takes care of teeth, to keep them from
crowding their other teeth.

The next time you eat, pay attention to which teeth do which jobs.
Having a cookie? Incisors do a good job of biting into that tasty treat. What
about a carrot? Those molars get the job done, not the teeth in front. How
about a slice of pizza or a piece of bread? Your canines will help you tear at
the food, and your premolars and molars will help you grind up that pepperoni
pizza or peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
