Complete Sentence Outline and Annotated Bibliography
1) Complete Sentence Outline:
A complete sentence outline provides a complete and accurate
list, written as complete sentences, of the points you want to

3. address in your document. Sentence outlines typically serve
two purposes:
1. They begin the process of converting an outline into a draft
of your document.
2. They help you assess the structure of a document that you
have already written in parts.
This outlines use Roman numerals and letters to indicate the
hierarchy of information, ideas and arguments, and places where
you want to engage with your sources. When you’ve created
your outline, ask whether it can serve as a blueprint for the first
draft of your document. Taking the time to create an effective
and detailed outline now will reduce the time needed to write
your first rough draft later.
Guidelines for Constructing a Complete Sentence Outline
Write in complete full sentences and create a formal outline to
identify
· Your thesis statement
· Your reasons (topic sentences) for the argument
· The sequence in which those reasons should be presented
· Supports for your reasons
· Sources you should refer to as you work on your document
(indicate which sources you intend to engage with and where)
SAMPLE OUTLINE FORMAT
Use the conventional system of Roman numerals, letters, and
indents.

--Limit the number of major sections in the outline; if the list of
Roman numerals (at the first level) gets too long, try clustering
the items into fewer major categories with more subcategories.
--Please be as detailed as possible.
--Please make sure that you write complete sentences in your
outline.
--Please make sure to indicate both topic sentences and your
supports for these topic sentences in each paragraph. Indicate
what sources you intend to use to support your claims (you can
simply add the titles of the sources)
2) Annotated Bibliography:
As you explore your topic and choose an issue, begin collecting
sources from the library and internet. Read each source
critically, evaluate it for its potential value for your project, and
take notes. For this assignment, you will submit a list of 5
scholarly sources and annotations for your Annotated
Bibliography assignment.
The Annotated Bibliography is an alphabetized list and includes
publication information and a brief summary and evaluation of
the source. Please also explain why and how you plan to use
the sources for your final research project. This list should
conform to the MLA documentation system.
