Slide 4

There are 4 key components required to write an effective outline. Parallelism Coordination Subordination Division

Slide 5

ParallelismHow do I accomplish this? Each heading and subheading should preserve parallel structure. If the first heading is a noun, the second heading should be a noun. Example: Choose Desired Colleges Prepare Application ("Choose" and "Prepare" are both verbs.)

Slide 6

CoordinationHow do I accomplish this? All the information contained in Heading 1 should have the same significance as the information contained in Heading 2. The same goes for the subheadings (which should be less significant than the headings). Example: Visit and evaluate college campuses Visit and evaluate college websites Note important statistics Look for interesting classes (Campus and website visits are equally significant, as are statistics and classes found on college websites.)

Slide 7

SubordinationHow do I accomplish this? The information in the headings should be more general, while the information in the subheadings should be more specific. Example: Describe an influential person in your life Favorite high school teacher Grandparent (A favorite teacher and grandparent are specific examples of influential people.)

Slide 8

DivisionHow do I accomplish this? Each heading should be divided into 2 or more parts. You cannot have only one of a particular level. Example: Compile resume List relevant coursework List work experience List volunteer experience

Slide 9

Numbering 1 st = Roman Numerals I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, etc. 2 nd = Capital Letters A, B, C, D, E, F, etc. 3 rd = Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. 4 th = Lower Case Letters a, b, c, d, e, f, etc. 5 th = Small Roman Numerals (if necessary) i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii, viii, ix, x, etc.

Slide 10

Teacher Example Does the example have a thesis statement? If so, highlight or underline it. If not, write a possible thesis statement. Does the example refer to the counter-argument? If so, circle it. If not, write what the counter-argument should be. Does the example include logos, pathos, and ethos? Label each. Does the examples format include parallelism, coordination, subordination, and division. Label each.

Slide 11

Scale RequirementsWe will begin writing the outline in class tomorrow! 5.0 Requirements In addition to Score 4.0, the student Includes more than 2 examples/evidence for each section AND a more perceptive/thoughtful, in-depth analysis of those examples/evidence Logically orders outline with strongest argument last and threads arguments together with common ideas/transitions Writes with no errors and uses varied and sophisticated language to show persuasive rhetoric

Slide 12

Student Example How would you score the example from a student? Why would you give it that score? Consider the following: Does the example have a thesis statement? Does the example refer to the counter-argument? Does the example include logos, pathos, and ethos? Does the examples format include parallelism, coordination, subordination, and division.
