Overview

Creating academic papers often begin with an outline. For this assignment, you will use the research you have collected for your Final Assignment and create an outline of your information. An outline generally follows this type of format:

I. Main Idea

A. Supporting Idea

1. Research, data, facts

Many wordprocessing programs have outline formatting tools to help you. This Purdue OWL Sample Outlines PDF (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/media/pdf/20081113013048_544.pdf) gives examples of outline formats as well.
