    OUTLINE
    An outline is a design to follow when
    writing a structure, a discourse, or a
    article. It arranges a material in a
    logical way into main ideas,
    supporting ideas, and supporting
    details.
    21

    OUTLINE
    • The main idea or topic is the main topic of the
    outline.
    • All main topics are indicated by Roman
    Numeral. Subtopics are noted by letters and
    supporting details are indicated by Arabic
    Numerals.
    • An outline can be a sentence outline or topic
    outline. A sentence outline is written in full
    sentence while a topic outline is in words or
    phrases.
    Guidelines in Writing an Outline: 22

    1. Place the title at the center above the outline.


    2. Every level of the outline must have at least two items (I
    and II, A and B, 1 and 2).
    3. Put a period after each numeral and letter.
    4. Indent each new level of the outline.
    5. All items of one kind (roman numerals, capital letters,
    Arabic numerals) should line up with each other.
    6. Capitalize the first letter of each item.
    7. The terms Introduction, Body, and Conclusion do not
    have to be included in the outline. They are not topics; they
    are merely organizational units in the writer’s mind.
