Outlining to ThesisCreating an outline is an important step to making a working thesis. Open the Assignment #2 handout online to complete these things:

1. After determining the focus of your paper, outline the subtopics you think you will discuss

2. Consider how you may find outside support (other information from other sources) to support these subtopics

3. Search online or in the library for materials that can support your subtopics. I expect at least one outside source for each subtopic.

4. Note: you may change your outline or thesis after looking for outside support for your ideas!

This handout is due at the beginning of class on Wednesday. Please bring your laptops!
