Outline Format

How can outlines help me personally and academically?

Today, I showed/reminded you all how to create an outline and the manner in which they should be organized.

We started out by creating New Year's or New Semester resolutions.

One student said that she wanted to pass all her classes and that she could accomplish this by doing the following:

• Be on time to class


• Turn in work on time


• Try my best on all assignments


• Don't get put in ISS or written up

We put this into an outline by first grouping the first two items into the common category of time.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE SLANTING FORMAT. IF YOUR OUTLINE DOES NOT SLANT, THEN IT IS MOST LIKELY WRONG...
