DEVELOP OUTLINE:
You need to develop a basic outline to give your writing direction. You can change your outline as you write if you find your paper changing direction as you find more information. Sometimes it is a good idea to finish your paper and then make your outline based on what you have written in order to see if your paper is well organized. If you cannot outline your finished paper, then you still have work to do on it!

Your outline will have 5 parts. IF you have extra information, you might have another body section:


 * I. Introduction
 * II. First information
 * III. Second information
 * IV. Third information
 * V. Conclusion

I am going to show you 2 websites which will help you set up your outline:
__**LOCATE THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE FOR HELP IN CREATING YOUR OUTLINE: Read the information and study the example outline form. As you scroll down, you can choose**__
 * #1. to see a model of a formal outline
 * #2. try the online interactive Outline Maker

Use this site to fill in your topics and the website will create your outline for you! [|Making an Outline]**
 * 

OR
[|Thesis Builder and Outliner] This site looks familiar if you used it to build your thesis. Scroll down to the outline maker after you type in your thesis information.

You can create a very simple outline at first. Then as you read your information, you can make your outline more detailed. The more detailed your outline is, the easier your paper will be to write.

__**Remember:**__
 * Statements in your outline must be in parallel construction form: write statements as either all sentences or all phrases which are constructed in the same style. Do not intermix styles. Statements should LOOK and SOUND the same.
 * If you have an "A" you MUST have a "B" and then you can go on to "C", "D", etc. as needed.
 * If you have a "1" you MUST have a "2" and then you can go on to further numbers as needed.
