Outline Template

Topic or Subject of Outline of your essay.

In this assignment, you are required to submit the outline for your five-paragraph essay.

• Why did you choose this topic and what are you planning to tell the reader? This will eventually become your introductory paragraph.
• What article did you choose to read about the topic (include the authors, publication name, and URL so that the reader can find the article)
• List three things that you want to tell the reader (one should be from the article with direct quotes included as in-text citations as per APA guidelines) the other two can be personal experiences or information. These will eventually turn into your three middle paragraphs.

To end your outline, what do you want the reader to know before they move on to read the next paper? This will eventually become your conclusion. Which of the three middle statements was taken from the article?
