Today we begin to take our notecards and turn them into an outline in preparation to write our research papers. Following the explanatory instructions on the handout, you should be able to create a correctly-formatted outline that connects each piece of your information in logical progressive order. The more detailed and complete your outline is, the less work you must do for actually writing your paper. :)Remember, your outline is the time you MAKE CONNECTIONS and ANALYZE the information you have collected, so check out this list of analytical verbs to help you connect the dots.
