WRITING AN OUTLINE
Writing an Outline An outline is a “blueprint” or “plan” for your paper. It helps you to organize your thoughts and arguments.

Your outline page must include your : Paper Title Thesis statement Major points/arguments indicated by Roman numerals (i.e., I, II, III, IV, V, etc.) Support for your major points, indicated by capital Arabic numerals (i.e., A, B, C, D, E, etc.) Roman numeral I should be your “Introduction”.

For example, student 1: “I went to the shops and I bought an apple”. Student 2: “I went to the shops and I bought an apple and a bike”. Student 3: “I went to the shops and I bought an apple, a bike and a coat”. This game can be adapted to different levels and lexical sets. I recently revised sports and the use of do/ play/ go by playing “I went to the sports centre……” It’s the same game, but using different vocabulary. For example, student 1: “I went to the sports centre and I did aerobics." Then “I went to the sports centre and I did aerobics and played basketball.” and then “I went to the sports centre and I did aerobics, played basketball and went canoeing.” etc. BY JO BUDDEN First published 2008
