II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

What are sources?
Sources are references that you use in gathering information like books,
encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, webpage and other materials.
There are two kinds of sources – primary and secondary.
We say that the source is primary if they are materials that the eyewitness
accounts or as close to the original sources as possible like interview, observation,
etc. In addition, a primary source is anything that gives you direct evidence about the
people, events, or phenomena that you are researching. It provides raw information
and first-hand evidence. In other words, you can have a direct access to the primary
sources. Secondary sources on the other hand are interpretations and analyses of
the first-hand information (from the primary sources) like books, newspapers,
magazines, etc. We use primary and secondary information in writing paragraphs or
essays. However, we oftentimes find writing paragraphs and essays difficult because
we do not know what information can be used in our writing, and how to organize this
information.
In this case, one way of helping us write paragraphs and essays easily is
through the use of an outline.

 What is an outline?

An outline can briefly be defined as the framework of a text. It serves as a

guide in writing or expanding a text or passage. It makes you think about the topic
and helps you organize your ideas in a logical manner. Outline also serves as your
map as you search for information which is relevant to your topic.
Outline maybe classified into two main types - the topic outline and the
sentence outline. Each of these types is identified according to their entries or
headings as their names imply. It is a topic outline if the entries or headings are
topics which may be word, words or phrases. It is a sentence outline if their
entries are sentences
Here is an example of how you can take your outline and expand it into a
paragraph.

Having a job that is close to home is what makes a

job great. First, it is a short distance to travel. The commute
will save time and gas money. Secondly, being close to work
allows employees to walk or cycle. The walk or bicycle ride is
great exercise. Moreover, walking or biking to work is good for
the environment. In conclusion, an ideal job is near home.
