Review WATCHING TOO MUCH!
One of the physiological effects of watching TV in
excessive amounts is eyestrain. There are guidelines that
one can follow in watching TV to protect one’s eyes. First,
the television should be 5 meters away from the eyes. Next,
the room should be adequately lit. Also, the TV should be
placed at the same height with our eyes. While these may
be helpful, these do not prevent our eyes from getting tired
if we keep watching TV for a long time.

Group Activity
Guide Questions:
Were you able to complete the
outline with appropriate subtopics
and supporting details?
What guided you in completing your
outline?
How you select and organize the
information is important because it
brings either success or failure in
conveying your message to your
target audience. In this lesson, you
will know one essential technique in
writing a composition which is
outlining.
What is an outline?
An outline is a tool used in
improving and organizing written
ideas about a topic into a logical
order. Writers use outlines when
writing their papers to know which
topic to cover and in what order.
What are the types of an
outline?
The type of outline to be used by the writer
depends on the nature of the topic and purpose of
the writer. Topics that are information-heavy may
require more major topics and subtopics since the
writer’s purpose is to be as informative as possible.
However, if the writer wants to be persuasive,
outline should only accommodate what is
important to the audience’s needs. There are two
types of outline: the sentence outline and the topic
outline.
Sentence-Outline
It is a type of outline that presents the
thesis statement, major topics, subtopics,
and supporting details in sentence form.
It allows you to include those details in
the sentences instead of having to create
an outline of many short phrases that
goes on page after page.
Sentence-Outline
Also, it follows a hierarchical structure
composed of sentences and headings
around the subject of the speech or
essay. These characters are used in this
order in bullet formatting: (1) Roman
Numerals; (2) Capitalized Letters; (3)
Arabic Numerals; (4) Lowercase Letters
Topic-Outline
It is a type of outline
which presents the major
topics, subtopics, and
supporting details in the
form of words and phrases.
Contents of an Outline
Thesis Statement is a one-sentence
statement that expresses the main
idea of an essay.
Major topics refer to the major
phrases/sentences which are
formed from the thesis statement.
Contents of an Outline
Subtopics refer to the minor
phrases/sentences which are formed from
the major topics.
Supporting Details are phrases/sentences
which provide additional information to
clarify or prove the main idea. These details
help you explain further the ideas presented
by the major topics and subtopics.
