OUTLINING
READING TEXT
An outline is a helpful guide in
organizing information. It gives a
visual structure to one's work and is
used to show relationships and
hierarchies within text contents
(Walden University education for
Group, 2020).
It is also a tool used to organize
written ideas about a topic into a
logical order. It is meant to help
establish a structure for a paper we
are going to write (Ashford
University, n. d).
It is a way for us to demonstrate
the main argument (thesis),
main points (topic sentences),
and main pieces of evidence we
are going to present in a paper
before actually writing the paper.
In doing an outline, you must
create a linear, organized
presentation of facts that shows
the main ideas that are discussed
as well as their relationships.
TYPES OF
OUTLINES
1.TOPIC OUTLINE
This is brief. It reveals the logic
you will follow in your paper. It
provides a quick overview of
topics to be included in an essay.
Example: a syllabus from courses
2.SENTENCE OUTLINE
a. The thesis and topic sentence of each
supporting paragraph are fully written out.
b. It forces part of the essay to be written
out in sentences before the first draft. Here
are examples of sentence and topic
outlines
2.SENTENCE OUTLINE
c. It helps you make sure you become
sufficiently specific about
your subject, rather than simply
generalizing
(CWW101. n. d.)
TIPS IN
CREATING AN
OUTLINING
To create an outline:
1. Place your thesis statement at the
beginning.
2. List the major points that support
your thesis. Label them in Roman
numerals (I, II, III, etc.).
To create an outline:

3. List supporting ideas or


arguments for each major point.
Label them in capital letters (A, B,
C, etc.).
To create an outline:
4. If applicable, continue to sub-
divide each supporting idea until
your outline is fully developed.
Label them 1, 2, 3, etc., and then a,
b, c, etc.
