Outlines

Creating an Effective Outline

Creating an effective outline gives structure to your paper and makes the actual writing process easier for many people. This section contains three pages on outlines:

  • An Outlining Overview, which explains why an outline can be helpful and how you can use one to advantage
  • The Basic Outline Form, showing the general way outlines are structured
  • And a Sample Outline, to model what a completed outline should look like.
