Reverse Outlining:

A Reverse outline helps you see the current state of your draft by helping you focus on the
organization and logical development of your paragraphs. A reverse outline can help you 1)
determine if your paper meets its goals, 2) discover areas where more information
(evidence/explanation)/analysis) is needed, and 3) see where readers might become confused
because of the organization. To complete this assignment, just complete the skeleton I provided
to you below by using your current draft of your essay. For most of this, you will copy/paste
directly from your draft to fill in information.
