HOW TO WRITE YOUR
OUTLINE FOR YOUR
RESEARCH PAPER!!
Outline
• In order to write an outline for our research
paper, we need to be able to read the
research sources and summarize the main
ideas.
• By understanding the main points, we will
know what facts are important to include
into our Culture research paper.
What is an Outline?!?!
• An outline is a part of the writing process
called “Pre-Writing.”
• It is a list that outlines all of the information
that you would like to include in your paper.
• The list helps you to put all of your
information in order before you begin
writing.
It is the best way to get your mind
UNJUMBLED
when writing any major paper!!
An Outline Organizes The Major Parts Of Your Essay:
• Your Thesis Statement-The sentence that tells your reader
your ultimate point and what they should expect.
• You Major Points-The facts that you are using to prove
your main point.
• Your Supporting Details-The examples, facts, quotations,
etc. that further explain and back up each major point. You
should have several for each Major Point.
• Your Transitions-The statement or information you will use
to transition form one major point to the next. This stops
your paper from sounding jumpy or disorganized.
• Concluding Thoughts-Any thoughts that you would like to
include at the close of your paper to wrap things up and tie it
all together. NEVER INCLUDE NEW FACTS OR
INFORMATION IN YOUR CONCLUSION!
Why Write An Outline?

ideas running around your brain!
Why Write An Outline?

your research or ideas early enough

notes on the topic that you are
