DEFINING AN OUTLINE
An outline is a summary that gives the essential features of a text. It shows how the
parts of a text are related to one another as parts that are equal of importance, or
sections that are subordinate to a main idea.
It is a tool used to organize written ideas about a topic or thesis into a logical order.
Outlines arrange major topics, subtopics, and supporting details. Writers use outlines
when writing their papers in order to know which topic to cover in what order. Outlines
for papers can be very general or very detailed.
WHY DO WE OUTLINE?
it gives an overview of the topic and enables us to see how various sub topics
relate to one another
recording the information in our own words tests our understanding of what we
read
it is an effective way to record needed information from reference books you do not
own
Example:
In a sentence outline, the thesis and topic sentence of each supporting paragraph are
fully written out. The sentence outline forces part of the essay to be written out in
sentences before the first draft.

primary pollutants and atmosphere constituents. These are usually formed by
photochemical reactions, hydrolysis or oxidation. Examples include ozone, aldehydes and
