BENEFITS OF OUTLINING

1. It gives an overview of the topic and it


enables us to see how various subtopics
relate to one another.
BENEFITS OF OUTLINING

2.Recording the information in our


own words tests our
understanding of what we read.

3. It is an effective way to record

STEPS IN CREATING A READING
OUTLINE

1. Read the entire text first. Skim the text afterward.


2. Locate the thesis statement of the whole text.
3. Look for key phrases in each paragraph of the text.
4. Locate the topic sentence of each paragraph.

OUTLINE

5. Look at the topic sentences and group these with related ideas
together.
6. Arrange the contents according to levels.
7. Evaluate the supporting details.
8. Go back to the text to check whether you have followed the
sequence closely and you have not missed any important
information.
YOU MAY FOLLOW THE SIMPLE STEPS
BELOW IN FINALIZING YOUR OUTLINE

1. Place your thesis statement at the beginning.


2. List the major points that support your thesis.
3. List supporting ideas or arguments for each major
point.
4. If applicable, continue to sub-divide each supporting
idea until your outline is fully developed.
TIP!!!
When looking for key phrases such as
major points and supporting details you
may use a concept map to organize your
ideas.

words is used to identify the topic or idea that
will be discussed under the given heading.

paper will cover as part of proving the overall
thesis.

The mechanics of outlining using the alphanumeric
format involve organizing content in a hierarchical
structure with a specific system of numbers and letters to
indicate different levels of information. Here’s a detailed
breakdown of how it works:

1. Structure and Levels


2. Indentation
3. Content Consistency
4. Hierarchy and Importance
1. Structure and Levels

- I., II., III., IV., etc.:Used for the main topics or sections of the
outline.

- *A., B., C., D., etc.:* Denotes subtopics under each main topic.

- *1., 2., 3., 4., etc.:* Used for details that fall under each
subtopic.

- *a., b., c., d., etc.:* Indicates sub-details under each numbered
item.

- *(1), (2), (3), (4), etc.:* Optional, used for even more specific
points under each lettered item.
2. Indentation

- Each subsequent level of the outline is


indented to visually separate the hierarchy.
- The indentation increases as you move from
main topics to subtopics, details, and sub-details.
3. Content Consistency

- Maintain consistent phrasing at each level. For example, if one


main topic is a noun phrase, all other main topics should be
noun phrases.

- Ensure parallel structure, especially within the same level.


4. Hierarchy and Importance

- The alphanumeric format reflects the importance and generality


of ideas, with main topics being the most general and sub-details
being the most specific.

- This helps in maintaining a clear and logical flow of ideas.


5. COMPLETENESS

- Each level should have at least two items. For example, if


you have an “A.” you should have at least a “B.”; if you have a
“1.” you should have at least a “2.”
EXAMPLE;

I. Main Topic
- Most general point or section.

A. Subtopic
- A more specific aspect of the main topic.
EXAMPLE;

1. Detail
- Information or examples that supports the
subtopics.

a. Subdetail
- Further elaboration of the detail.
TIPS

Practical Tips:
- *Start broad:* Begin with the most general topics and
then narrow down to specifics.

- *Use keywords:* Focus on key terms and phrases rather


than full sentences to keep the outline concise.
