Essay Outline

LOs: #professionalism; #organization
Draft an outline for your Essay on Community and paste it in the space below. Your outline should contain the following:

  1. A thesis statement at the top
  2. A short, 1-2 sentence summary of each paragraph
  3. For each paragraph, list an example, source, or piece of evidence you’re planning to use and an explanation of how the paragraph supports your thesis or central claim.
  4. A conclusion statement that emphasizes the significance of your argument

Your outline should be structured so that your instructor can tell how the paragraphs are connected and how you’re using evidence to support your thesis.
