Outline
Before you start writing the first draft of your essay or research project, it is always useful to make an
outline of your ideas. If you have already decided on your focus or topic, and you have a rough list of
sources for support, then you are ready to draft an outline.
Keep in mind that outlines are required to follow a format style (eg. APA). An outline is simply a
way to organize your ideas and information. The following is an abbreviated version of what is often
referred to as a formal or “traditional” outline. It can be expanded or condensed to fit the scope of
your essay or research project. The example below is based on the five-paragraph essay model.
The Thesis Statement (TS) will be the
last 1-3 sentences of the introduction.
I. Introduction
A. Thesis Statement
II. Body paragraph #1 – Topic Sentence #1
A. Supporting Evidence
1. Name of & quote from source Supporting Evidence
Integrate an appropriate example,
such as a quote, statistic, case
study, etc.
2. Name of & quote from source #2 (if applicable)
B. Explanation
1. Explanation of source
2. Explanation of source #2 (if applicable)
C. So What?
Explanation
Explain how this evidence supports your
topic sentence. Try to develop your
explanation in 2-4 sentences.
III. Body paragraph #2 – Topic Sentence #2
A. Supporting Evidence
1.
So What?
What’s significant or important about the
ideas (topic sentence + evidence +
explanation) in this paragraph? Remind
your reader how all this connects back to
the TS.
2.
B. Explanation
1.
2.
C. So What?
IV. Body paragraph #3 – Topic Sentence #3
A. Supporting Evidence
The TS is the first 1-3 sentences of the
conclusion. It should be “rephrased” here
rather than repeated verbatim. Avoid
simply summarizing the main points in
the conclusion: synthesize them.
B. Explanation
C. So What?
V. Conclusion
A. Rephrase thesis statement
B. Bring closure by going from specific to broad
To see what a complete outline, refer to the model below. The thesis statement has been taken from
the Thesis Statement Guide section of the Ashford Writing Center.
I. Introduction
A. Thesis Statement
Although there are educational television programs, parents should regulate the
amount of television their children watch because it is not always intellectually
stimulating, it can distort a child’s perception of reality, and it inhibits social
interaction.
II. Body paragraph #1 - Topic Sentence #1
While television has the potential to offer programs that can be seen as educational
supplements, too much television has an even greater potential for turning children
into passive viewers and getting in the way of intellectual sti.

3. 10. A summary of the best viewpoints that may be useful to our documentary:
1. The majority of jobs ask for experience which makes it almost impossible to get.
2. It is not fair that these university fees are being set by people who had the
opportunity for free and thus don’t know how severe the effects will be on our futures.
3. I don’t think the university fees will affect people too much as they have to earn so
much before beginning to pay it back.
4. Most jobs offered now are temporary or part time which makes it hard to plan for a
secure future.
5. I think education is absolutely vital to the country’s efficiency and development.
6. Not all of the education system needs to be revised and reformed, but the huge gap
between the levels of quality in education does need to be.
7. Eventually degrees will lose their value as the majority of people will have them and
the government will continue trying to extend education to replace it, but this does not
tackle the lack of jobs available.
8. Depression and stress is becoming an increasing problem, often due to work, this
will cause a problem when people have to work longer.
9. If the government allowed the people that wanted to retire early, that would open
up jobs for the younger people.
10. Extending compulsory education and cutting funds for the creative subjects will
increase depression in young people, possible increase drug abuse and crime levels
with young people.
11. Teachers and police are not given any power for discipline anymore, and without
help parenting skills are decreasing, meaning young people are not scared of anything,
even prison sentences as they are often too lenient and the person is likely to get out
early for ‘good behaviour’ anyway.
Other significant points from out questionnaire:
A lot of the people in our questionnaire stated they were in further/higher
education and unemployed.
For the questions on whether they have or would watch a documentary of this
nature, the results showed a correlation between the age range of people that
would include, parents, people starting university and people finishing
education and possible trying to start their careers. This could suggest that it is
the people who are concerned about their own or their children’s futures
within university and employment.
