  2. Your handout says: • OUTLINING YOUR PAPER: • Here you will tell me what your paper is going to tell me! Start with • Introductory paragraph(s) – include things like who, what, where, when, methodology used, key terms, and your thesis statement or question. Then, • Sub-topic #1, discuss one aspect of your research and the thesis. In your final paper, this will probably be several paragraphs long • Sub-topic #2, discuss another aspect. Again, several paragraphs long in the paper itself. • Sub-topic #3, and so on. Finally, you have your: • Conclusion, where you essentially restate your thesis and the key pieces of information covered in earlier paragraphs. Here is where you convincingly show why your thesis is correct or not. • Your outline of these sections, along with topic approval, is due on December 12/13.

  3. Some great comments/explanation(All of the following comes from: http://www.papermasters.com/blog/how-to-research-paper-outline/) • To begin with, if the outline is just for your personal use, you do not have to worry about what type of numbering or format you use, just as long as it is consistent and you understand it. However, if it is for submission to a professor, I recommend the standard MLA outline format (shown here). By using this format at all times, points and sub-points are clear and easily identifiable.

  4. Comments, cont. • To begin laying out your outline, list the most important points you wish to make in your research paper. Be extremely general and number them with Roman numerals (I., II., etc…). Note how the example outline is arranged according to the general various civilizations of the Ancient World.

  5. Comments, cont. • Next, look at each point and think about what you want to include in regards to that topic. This requires a bit more research than the general points did. You will need to begin organizing your thoughts, notes and source material into a logical progression of ideas. The example shows each civilization organized chronologically. This is an excellent way to organize a world history research paper topic.

  6. Final comments • Finally, you can use sub-points to expand on the information in the general headings. I do this after I have written the paper. I use the basic outline to guide me in my research and writing. Then, after I have written the paper and expanded on the main points thoroughly, I note the finer points of the paper by using the detailed sub-point headings. This is not standard, simply what I have found easier. I find it is difficult detailing what I’m going to discover before I have the project begun.
