Outlining my essay


The outline for my essay

In the essay I am currently writing, I chose to add extra information in the rough draft. I wanted to make sure to add all of the information that I would need and then reorganize everything after I have enough information. Now that I have enough information, I am going to be putting it all in order.

The first thing I will need is a good title that makes the reader pause and gets them interested in reading. Following the title, there needs to be an introduction. The introduction consists of a thesis statement, telling the reader what I am going to discuss. A good attention grabber is always helpful to convince the reader to continue reading. With these in the introduction, I will need to give a short description of what tools I am going to use in the essay as well. I will then make a transition statement that will bring the reader from the introduction to the body of the paper.

In the body lies the bulk of the information. I will write the paper in chronological order and use the rhetorical tools such as compare/contrast, and cause/effect. I will give definitions for any vocabulary that the reader may not already know. I walk the reader through using these tools, and then I will transition into the conclusion of the essay.

In the conclusion of the paper, I will restate what I said in the introduction, include a wrap up of all the loose ends, and remind the reader of what rhetorical tools I used. I will make sure that the reader understands everything in the essay and that there are no questions left unanswered.
