Essay Outlines

Essay Outline Overview

1. Basic Structure (See student resources page for the Essay Outline Format handout)
2. Outline Example (Again, see student resources page for the link to this)

My Expectations:

1. You do the heavy cognitive lifting.  I will help you with organization, structure, and decisions, but you have to do the thinking for yourself.
2. Try to work through your difficulties on your own first.  Use your resources (outline format and example).
3. Ask two students for help before asking me.
4. When you do ask me for help, have a specific question for me.

HOMEWORK:

Have your Truth of War outline at least halfway done when you walk into class tomorrow.  This means everyone should have outlined the introduction and at least two body paragraphs (if your essay is longer, you will need to do more).
