An outline is a plan for your essay and it is a helpful tool for organizing and shaping your ideas. Preparing an outline will help you test your essay for unity and coherence.
Unity is when all the ideas support the thesis statement.
Your essay has coherence if there are connections between your ideas. You must move logically from one sentence to another, from one paragraph to another. If you detect abrupt shifts or gaps in your ideas, be sure those ideas are in the right place in your paper. You may need to rearrange them or insert intermediate ideas.
Keep in mind that an outline is a tool for organizing your essay—it is never the end product.
