“Despite its rapid spread, Islam is not a religion for those who are casual about
regulations. On the contrary, adhering to the rules of Islam takes effort and discipline.
T
One must rise before dawn to observe the first of five prayers required daily, none of
which can take place without first cleansing oneself according to an established ritual
BA
or ceremony. Sleep, work, and recreational activities take second place to prayer.
Fasting for the month of Ramadan, undertaking the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once
in a lifetime, paying tax for relief of the Muslim poor, and accepting Islam’s creed
require a serious and an energetic commitment. On the whole, the vast majority of
Muslims worldwide do observe those tenets.” (Adapted from Jan Goodwin, Price of
Honor, Plume Books, 2002 p.29.)
O
Main Idea: Practitioners of Islam need to be willing to make a lot of effort to follow

O
An outline is a tool used to organize written ideas about a topic or thesis into a
logical order. Outlines arrange major topics, subtopics, and supporting details. Writers
use outlines when writing their papers in order to know which topic to cover in what
SD
order. Outlines for papers can be very general or very detailed. Reading outline is
used to get the main ideas of a text that is already written while writing outline is a
skeletal overview of your draft, which contains the fundamental points and the different
ideas that support them.
AS
up with each other.
• Capitalize the first letter of each item.

OUTLINE STRUCTURES
Full-sentence outline:
O
• Each roman numeral (I, II, III, IV…) indicates the start of a new paragraph. So I. is
the first sentence of the introduction, II. is the first sentence of the first paragraph
of the body, III. is the first sentence of the second paragraph of the body, and so
SD
on.
• Each capital letter (A, B, C, D…) indicates a main point within the structure of the
paragraph. So in our introduction, A. is the attention getter, B. is another attention
getter, C. describes a point that makes the topic personal, and D. is the thesis
statement.
• Each Arabic numeral (1, 2, 3, 4…) indicates a sentence or piece of supporting
evidence for each main point. So in the first body paragraph (II.), point A. is a
general statement that needs some additional support, so 1. provides a supporting
statement of fact and the citation of where that information came from. 2. provides
another sentence with supporting evidence, as does 3.
AS
A. In winter 1995, an iceberg the size of Rhode Island broke off.
B. In October 1998, an iceberg the size of Delaware broke off.
C. All of us have a lot at stake.
G
1. Now, I am what you call a “country mouse.”
D. Today I want to share what I have learned about global warming and its causes.
II. Global warming is a gradual warming of the Earth from human activities (citation).
T
A. It is characterized by a high concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
BA
1. Each year five tons of CO2 are pumped into the atmosphere (citation).
2. The carbon dioxide traps heat.
c. There could be rising sea levels that would destroy coastal areas.
2. There could be serious health problems.
a. There could be an increase in skin cancer.
AS
VI. In conclusion, if you want to know why we have global warming, listen for the falling
trees, watch the industrial smokestacks darkening the sky, and smell the exhaust fumes we
are pumping into the air.
A. Gore told a story on how global warming can sneak up on us.
G
B. Addressing the National Academy of Sciences, the vice president said, “If
dropped into a pot of boiling water….”
AN
C. The more we know about global warming, the more likely we are to jump
and the less likely we are to be cooked.

1. Those cuddly stuffed animals called teddy bears seem to have been around forever.
But, actually the first teddy bears came into being when President Theodore “Teddy”
AS
Roosevelt showed himself too much of a sportsman to shoot a staked bear cub. In
1902, Roosevelt visited Mississippi to settle a border dispute. In Roosevelt’s honor, his
hosts organized a hunting expedition. To make sure that the president would bag a
trophy, they staked a bear cub to the ground so that Roosevelt’s shot couldn’t miss.
G
To his credit, Roosevelt refused to shoot the bear. When the incident was publicized,
largely through political cartoons, a Russian candy store owner named Morris Michtom
made a toy bear out of soft, fuzzy cloth and placed it in his shop window with a sign
AN
reading “Teddy’s Bear.” The bear was a hit with passersby, and teddy-bear mania
spread rapidly throughout the country. Soon, Teddy's bear was the country's most
popular toy, the teddy bear.
