The Outline

On Monday your research paper outline is due. You should create a full sentence, alpha-numeric outline. A guide for this kind of outline can be found at the Purdue Online Writing Lab site.

You outline should:
1. Have an MLA heading
2. Have a title--the same title as your paper (NOT a description of the assignment)
3. Be single spaced within major sections of the outline; double spaced between major sections.
4. Include textual evidence whenever possible. Cite this evidence by including the author's last name (or whatever comes first in the MLA citation) in a parenthetical note following the evidence.
5. Be typed and printed. A hard copy of the outline is due in class on Monday, December 15.
