15. Moving on to… HOW TO WRITE YOUR OUTLINE FOR YOUR RESEARCH PAPER!!

16. Outline In order to write an outline for our research paper, we need to be able to read the research sources and summarize the main ideas. By understanding the main points, we will know what facts are important to include into our Culture research paper.

17. What is an Outline?!?! An outline is a part of the writing process called “Pre-Writing.” It is a list that outlines all of the information that you would like to include in your paper. The list helps you to put all of your information in order before you begin writing. It is the best way to get your mind UNJUMBLED when writing any major paper!!

18. An Outline Organizes The Major Parts Of Your Essay: Your Thesis Statement-The sentence that tells your reader your ultimate point and what they should expect. You Major Points-The facts that you are using to prove your main point. Your Supporting Details-The examples, facts, quotations, etc. that further explain and back up each major point. You should have several for each Major Point. Your Transitions-The statement or information you will use to transition form one major point to the next. This stops your paper from sounding jumpy or disorganized. Concluding Thoughts-Any thoughts that you would like to include at the close of your paper to wrap things up and tie it all together. NEVER INCLUDE NEW FACTS OR INFORMATION IN YOUR CONCLUSION!
