            A key outline should show the different topics related to the assignment. The different topics should somehow connect to show the relevance to the main topic. Outlines should have a thesis statement. This statement should contain a sentence summarizing the information the paper is trying to present (www.lavc.edu).

Outline Format

I.                     Introduction- Thesis Statement

II.                  Main Topic- This will increase the comprehension of the reader

III.                S-Q- Three R Study Plan, see  example below:

         Step one: Survey- Summarize all major points

         Step two: Questions- Create them so you can answer them as you write

         Step three: The three R’s are read, recite and review

         Read material, recite answers out loud, review for error and correct (www.isu.edu).

To accomplish these things you must have good coordination skills:

         Define your audience

         Decide what type of outline to use

         Do a draft to gather main thoughts

         Highlight the main thought

         Allow spaces to add subsections, Example: A., B., C., etc (www.ehow.com).
