Free Write and Outline for an Informative Paper

This week, we will be moving from narrative writing to informative writing. Your assignment this week will consist of a free write and outline similar to those you did for Week 2; however, this free write and outline will focus on a topic for an informative essay. Please jump ahead and review the instructions for the Week 5 essay; there are only two options, a how-to essay or a profile. Your free write and outline must reflect a topic suitable for one or the other

Your outline should be similar to the one used for Week 2. It will also contain an introduction, body, and conclusion, each with topic sentences and supporting points. Here is a link to the sample outline for Week 2.
