Important things to remember

Outlines are about CONTENT WORDS

An outline heading is not generally a short preposition, article, modal verb, pronoun, or conjunction

Outlines are NOT paragraphs

Information in outlines should be short, clear, and can be fragments.

Outlines are about ORGANIZATION

They follow the order of the story, they do NOT jump around from the beginning to the end to the middle, and back to the beginning.

Why do we do outlines?

When we outline, it helps us to discover the important details and to decide what details are unimportant.

Academic papers follow a certain order
