Title: Outline for Argumentative Essay

The outline should consist of
– your introduction, including the thesis statement;
– the projected paragraphs’ topic sentences (= claims that support the thesis);
– (sketched out) evidence that will support each paragraph’s claim, stated in the topic sentence.
The topic sentences should be claims that support the thesis, not vague descriptive statements that point to what the body paragraphs will cover. The more precise the supporting claims, the more helpful feedback I can provide. That’s why you should put together the outline only once you’ve worked out the paper’s argument.
The outline cannot be longer than 2.5 pages, double-spaced. Use Times New Roman, 12-point font.
