Friday, Friday, Friday!
On Friday, February 17th, we dove into the world of creating a successful outline for the research paper that is slowly being created. Due date is not the wednesday we come back. We will work on our outline next week. On the post posted on google classroom, here we can see the formula for creating an amazing outline! If an outline is used so well, it will often be frequently referenced back to in order to create the best research paper as possible. Outlines will provide a logical connection and choosing where to begin in terms of introducing your argument. Since this outline is a 100 point formative, it is crucial to follow these steps! Be consistent with font and spacing and organize your thoughts by showing that your indented text supports the headline above. We then went on to review the strengths and weaknesses of each outline. In Outline A, some strengths were the thesis is clear and consistent, the overall format is consistent using the same font and spacing, and finally everything is labelled and organized, allowing for easy following. Some weaknesses were being too general in the thesis and the spacing is off. Overall, this is the best outline of the four! Upon grading this outline, it received a 93-95 range because while it may not be perfect, it is working overtime! After reviewing Outline B, it was horrendous. The weaknesses heavily outweighed the strengths. The consistency was off, the thesis was not specific and clear, the spacing, font, and size was various and the layout was just awful. No structure, no function→ cruel grade→ terrible paper. The overall grade was not great to say the least. Do not follow this outline. See the document for more details. Have an awesome four day weekend!
