Developing an Annotated Outline
The word “annotation” refers to adding information, usually
comments,
explanations, or references
An annotated outline, then, would be an outline to which
additional information is
added, also known as annotations. Information included in the
annotations is
determined by the purpose of the annotated outline.
Not all annotated outlines are alike

5. The preparation of the annotated outline is governed by the
nature of a larger course
project and the role that the annotated outline plays in the
context of the course as a
whole. In some cases, the annotations are expected to consist of
• comments or explanations
• citations of sources appropriate to each outline entry
• information about each of the cited sources
• topic sentences
Some examples
This outline is not annotated.
I. Transforming chaos into order
A. Definitions of chaos and order
One way to add annotations: adding citations of sources.
I. Transforming chaos into order
Arling, T.J., (2006). Understanding order and chaos. New
York: Wylie and
Sons.
Carling, A.B. (2006). Chaos and you. Boston: Prentice Hall.
A. Definitions of chaos and order

6. Palova, X.R. (2005). Toward a typology of typologies.
Journal of
Thinking, 23(2), 176-201.
Caldorone, M.C. (2006). Chaotic concepts. Thinking and
learning.
15(3), 1-2.

Another way to add annotations: adding additional information
about each of
the sources.
I. Transforming chaos into order
Arling, T.J., (2006). Understanding order and chaos. New
York: Wylie and
Sons.
Arling provides a broad overview of the relationship between
ordered and
unordered systems. Included in this overview is a discussion
of how the
contrast between these systems has affected scientific thought
over the past

7. 200 years.
Still another way to add annotations: adding complete
sentences, with each
sentence usable as a topic sentence for a paragraph in a project
or paper.
I. Transforming chaos into order
Arling, T.J., (2006). Understanding order and chaos. New
York: Wylie and
Sons.
The contrast between ordered and unordered systems – order
and chaos –
has affected scientific thought over the past 200 years.
Important!
If you have any questions regarding the expectations of an
annotated outline:
• read the assignment description
• review the grading checklist provided in the course
• ask your instructor
