What is an outline?

An outline is a tool used in improving and organizing


written ideas about a topic into a logical order. Writers use
outlines when writing their papers to know which topic to
cover and in what order.
What are the types of an outline?

The type of outline to be used by the writer depends on


the nature of the topic and purpose of the writer. Topics that are
information-heavy may require more major topics and subtopics
since the writer’s purpose is to be as informative as possible.
However, if the writer wants to be persuasive, outline should only
accommodate what is important to the audience’s needs.

There are two types of outline: the sentence outline


and the topic outline.
1. Sentence Outline

It is a type of outline that presents the thesis


statement, major topics, subtopics, and supporting
details in sentence form. It allows you to include those
details in the sentences instead of having to create an
outline of many short phrases that goes on page after
page. Also, it follows a hierarchical structure composed
of sentences and headings around the subject of the
speech or essay.
These characters are used in this order in
bullet formatting.

present a clear idea of a paragraph or an essay. An outline contains thesis
statement, major topics, subtopics, and supporting details. The following are the
parts with their corresponding definition:
How to Expand the Content of an Outline Using Different
Sources?

secondhand information taken from the primary sources.
