WHICH OF THE 5 GOALS OF OUTLINING APPLY?

5 GOALS OF OUTLINING ALL OF THEM!  Visually separate main ideas from other main ideas  Visually separate a main idea from its details  Clearly show the relationship of main idea to other main ideas  Clearly show the relationship of the main idea to its details  Clearly show the relationship of details to other details for the same main idea

WHICH THREE RULES FOR ORGANIZING DETAILS APPLY?

RULES FOR ORGANIZING(REPLACE AND ADD)  Roman numerals, letters, and widths of indentation are used to show the relationship among pieces of information  All ideas of equal importance have the same width of indentation, same size Roman numeral, letter, or number  Phrases, abbreviations, and symbols are used when possible. Keep notes as short as possible while preserving understanding  Write for the audience to understand your plan as well as yourself. The audience include both your English and history teachers.  Write the number of the source from which you got the information in parentheses at the end of that detail.

OTHER REMINDERS  Large Roman Numerals (I., II., III.) = Main Ideas  Capital Letters(A, B, C) = Details directly related to Roman numerals.  Numbers (1, 2, 3) = Details that explain ideas in capital letters  Small letters (a, b, c) = details that explain ideas in numbers

USING NOTE CARDS FOR YOUR OUTLINE  Look through your note cards.  Put all note cards with similar subject headings together. (Note: Make sure your note cards are numbered by source before you do this.)  Put the categories in a tentative order (the order you think they will need to be used for your outline and your paper.)

EXAMPLE LAYOUT YOU must include the details that would replace the following headings.

(INTRODUCTION) I.Introduction A. Attention Grabber (Quote? Description? Anecdote?) B. Lead in to thesis C. Thesis NOTES: 1) Do not write attention grabber, lead in, thesis: put what you will use to grab attention, lead up to the thesis, and what your thesis actually is. 2) “X is an activist” is the most basic thesis. Yours can and should be more interesting.

BODY II.Basic Biography/Overview A. Includes basic life facts B. Should not be longer than one or two paragraphs or 1/2 to 2/3 of a page. C. Remember, after each detail, write the number of the source in III. Events that led to activism A. Flesh out the outline B. Use as many supporting details as you need to help build your case. C. Should be about as long as the basic overview D. Continue identifying source of information in parantheses. (Got it, I’ll stop repeating it.)

BODY (CONTINUED) IV.Activism A. This is the longest section of your paper. B. Your activist did more than one thing, so include more than one Roman numeral section. C. Use numbers and lower case letters for additional details beneath each of the letter sections as well.

CONCLUSION V.Legacy A. Use the evidence you have already explained in your paper B. This section is shorter than your body but MUCH more important than your summary of the person’s biography. C. If this section is weak your entire paper is weak. D. Restate your case about why this person is an important activist OR what lasting legacy this person has had.
