How to Outline a Paper | ||||
An outline helps you organize a paper's content in a logical and sequential way. Here is a basic guide. | ||||
![]() | Steps: | |||
1. | Write the working title of your paper at the top of a blank sheet of paper. The working title does not need to be the one you use for your final paper; "Midterm Paper" or "History Paper" will suffice. | |||
2. | Beneath the working title, write a few lines about the goal of the paper and the steps you will take to achieve that goal. For example: 'In this paper, I will show the secrets of a successful and happy life, using scholarly journals from psychologists and veterinarians.' | |||
3. | Follow the summary with a statement of your paper's thesis ' for example, 'Owning a dog can make one's life healthier and happier.' | |||
4. | Begin to lay down the basic framework for your paper by dividing its content into sections. | |||
5. | Start by writing either an Arabic or Roman numeral 1 - depending on your style of outline - followed by a period, then the title of the section (a "section heading"). In an informal outline use Arabic numerals; in a formal outline use Roman numerals. | |||
6. | Write a few lines describing what you wish to accomplish in the section. | |||
7. | Use subsections to list specific examples or topics that you wish to discuss under each heading. Mark them with a lowercase letter (a, b, c and so on). | |||
8. | Follow this format for each section heading, then put the sections in the following general order: introduction, body, conclusion. | |||
![]() | Tips: | |||
![]() | You may want to write each section heading on a separate sheet of paper to allow yourself room to take notes and brainstorm. | |||
![]() | Remember that a paper outline is merely a tool in the paper-writing process and does not bind you to anything. Feel free to change its format to suit your needs. | |||
![]() | As you write your paper, refer back to your outline to make sure you're on track. | |||
![]() | Tips from eHow Users: | |||
