TWO SYSTEMS OF OUTLINING
ALPHANUMERIC SYSTEM (NUMBER-LETTER)
DECIMAL SYSTEM

DECIMAL SYSTEM

points), in the sequence you want, and shows what you will talk about. As the name implies, it
identifies all the little mini topics that your paper will comprise, and shows how they relate.
TOPIC OUTLINE
it shows exactly what you will say about each mini -topic.
Each sentence, instead of simply identifying a mini-topic, is like a mini-thesis statement about that
mini-topic. It expresses the specific and complete idea that that section of the paper will cover as
part of proving the overall thesis.
SENTENCE OUTLINE
allows a writer to categorize the main points, to organize the paragraphs into an
order that makes sense, and to make sure that each paragraph/idea can be fully developed.
helps prevent a writer from getting stuck when performing the actual
writing of the essay.
OUTLINE
-is the stage where you collect ideas, information, sources,
and references relevant or related to your specific topic. This can be done by visiting the
library, browsing the web, observing a certain phenomenon or event related to your topic,
or conducting an interview or survey. The data that you will gather will be very useful in
making your speech informative, entertaining, or persuasive.
DATA COLLECTION/GATHERING
structures that will help you organize the ideas related
to your topic. Examples are biographical, categorical/topical, causal, chronological,
comparison/contrast, problem-solution, and spatial.
