Outline





The purpose of an outline is to help you think through your topic carefully and organize it logically before you start writing. A good outline is the most important step in writing a good paper. Check your outline to make sure that the points flow logically from one to the other, using transitional words. Include in your outline an INTRODUCTION, a BODY, and a CONCLUSION. All points must relate to the same major topic that you first mentioned in your capital Roman numeral.   http://www.aresearchguide.com/1steps.html#step4
