2. Write this essay as the outline below

3. Citations are ALL from the articles uploaded below

Introduction

(a)

Intro paragraphs introduce your topic as well as set up your argument, or thesis.

(b)

Include your thesis, or what you think might be your thesis, here. Typically outlining occurs in

the prewriting stages of writing an essay, so you don’t have to have your argument completely

fleshed out already. A thesis develops (and often changes!) during the writing process.

2.

The Body of the essay presents your argument and evidence in detail.

(a)

Body Paragraph 1 (first topic sentence goes here)

i.

The first body paragraph should be about the first part of your argument.

ii.

Again, outlining is a form of prewriting, so if you don’t have your topic sentences written

out yet, simply having the subject of your first argument is fine, too.

iii.

Include citations to the textual evidence that you’ll use to support your argument.

iv.

Write down any of your analysis of the above passages/quotes.

(b)

Subsequent Body Paragraphs. The number of body paragraphs depends on each essay’s argu-

ment and the word length of the assignment.

i.

You can outline the rest of your body paragraphs in the same way as the format listed

above for Body Paragraph 1.

ii.

Each following paragraph should include its own topic sentence.

iii.

Your body paragraphs should all be connected; the arguments presented in your body

paragraphs should all build off of one another.

3.
