Compose an in-depth outline for your proposal argument paper. Be sure to review this week’s video and PowerPoint before constructing this outline. You will need to include a thesis statement in the form of a complex sentence, at least 4 topic sentences, at least four examples with in-text citations, and at least four wrap-up sentences. You should include a Works Cited page. This outline should be 500 words minimum with at least 4 sources – you can use the sources from your annotated bibliography if they fit well with your thesis – or you can find new source(s) if you’ve chosen a different path.
Your outline should look like the following template example. Please use this informal format to create your outline within a Word document.
