Purpose:
The purpose of the Formal Sentence Outline is to help you organize, design, and outline your final Research Paper
for this
course. Now that you have researched your topic and composed a review of literature that demonstrates your
understanding of the conversation surrounding your topic, you are ready to begin fleshing out your paper—one
section at a
time. In the last three units of the course, you will write the remaining sections of your paper (introduction,
body,
conclusion, and abstract), and this outline will guide you through that process.
Description:
In this 300-500-word, Formal Sentence Online, you will organize and outline the project that you intend to write
about for
your final Research Paper. If your Formal Sentence Outline is less than the word count, it is likely you have not
fully
developed your outline or adhered to the assignment appropriately, and this lack of development can severely
impact your
grade for this assignment. Your outline will include the elements listed below.
Your Formal Sentence Outline should also include a list of references in APA style and should adhere to APA
convention
throughout for in-text citation and style.
Elements:
Your grade is largely based on your inclusion of the following elements, as well as your development of the
project. For a
model, you might want to refer back to pp. 465-467 of Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers. Your
outline
must contain the following elements.
1. Cover page and APA formatting:
You should include an APA-style cover page for your Formal Sentence Outline. See the example on page 16 of
The CSU APA Guide (6th edition). Your cover page should include the following: the title, your name, and the
name of your university (Columbia Southern University). The running head should include up to 50 characters from
the title of the paper, along with a sequential page number in the upper right-hand corner.
The entire outline should be double-spaced throughout, without additional spaces between sections.
2. Thesis:
The thesis statement should be provided at the beginning of the outline, and it should be labeled “Thesis,”
followed
by a colon. The thesis statement should be an argumentative statement that embodies the argument of your paper.
Please see the directions for double-checking the argumentativeness of your thesis statement in the lecture for
Unit V.
When writing your outline, make certain that every topic and subtopic is written as a complete
sentence. Additionally, it is required to include in-text citations within your outline. For instance, one of
your
EH 1020, English Composition II 10
subtopics may be a direct quote; therefore, you would place an in-text citation at the closing of the sentence
just as you would do if it were written in essay form. For example:
I. Hybrid vehicles are far inferior to our country’s available technology.
A. Electric cars are more energy efficient and do not have tailpipe pollutants.
1. Nissan CEO, Carlos Ghosn (2008), states, “I want a pure electric car. I don’t want a range extender that still
uses oil. That is unsustainable” (para. 2).
Furthermore, any in-text citation will also have a correlating reference entry listed on the reference page. For
the purpose of this outline, you will only reference the sources, which have in-text citations to match (in the
outline). In later drafts, you will include every source that you used in your essay on your reference page.
However, the outline only requires that you reference sources that were used solely in the outline.
3. Headings and subheadings:
You must include at least four headings in your outline, indicated by Roman numerals (I, II, III, IV). Each of
these headings must have at least two subheadings, indicated by capital letters (A, B, C). The best outlines will
break down these subheadings into topics, indicated with numerals (1, 2, 3). A framework for an outline might
look like the following.
Thesis: Hydrogen cars might be the future’s best hope for an environment-friendly family vehicle, but the
unstable nature of the hydrogen that powers them is not worth the risk of personal injury.
I. There have been a number of alternative cars designed in the last decade, but none that are as efficient as
the hydrogen models.
