Eng Q4 Summative

• Outline


  A blueprint or a plan of your writing piece or research paper. An outline allows the writer to come up with ideas and arrange these ideas according to the relationship.
• Primary source


  Original pieces of work. Primary sources help us to learn about an event, topic, or historical period.
• Secondary source


  Secondary sources interpret, critique, or analyze primary sources. Writers of secondary sources look at primary sources, develop meaning from them, and create their own analysis of the primary source.
• From box 1 to box 3 in the diagram


  The outline has expanded its content. It started with just main topics, then main topics are added subtopics and subtopics are added supporting details.
• Important points to remember in writing the outline

  • Think of a topic and decide on how you want to develop this topic.
  • Decide the main topic and subtopic. The main topic and subtopic must be related, meaning, they have the same idea. The subtopic is an expanded idea of the main topic. You can expand the subtopic by adding supporting details.
  • Remember the symbols. a. Romal Numeral is for main topic (I., II., III.….). b. Capital letters is for subtopic (A., B., C., ….). c. Arabic numbers is for supporting details (1., 2., 3., …). d. small letters are for more supporting details for supporting details (a., b., c.…) – if you will want to further expand your outline.
  • First letter of main topic and subtopic and even the supporting details must be written in capital letters.
  • Don't forget the period after the Roman numerals, letters, and Arabic numerals. You might be asking if you could add another level or more level to your outline. Definitely, you could.
  • Remember the alignments and indentions. (Look at the two-level outline.)
• Topic Outline


  A topic outline contains words or phrases. A topic outline arranges your ideas by showing which are main and which are subpoints), in the order you want, and shows what you will talk about.
• Sentence Outline


  A sentence outline contains complete sentences. A sentence outline does all of this, plus it shows exactly what you will say about each subtopic. Each sentence, instead of simply identifying a subtopic, expresses the specific and complete idea that that section of the paper will cover as part of proving the overall thesis.
