Outline Assignment

Come up with a clear outline of your essay.

It should consist of:

- Your Thesis Statement (= your viewpoint, last sentence of the introduction)

- What your body paragraphs will be about and which sources you will use to support your arguments

- If necessary, that is if different from the TS, a conclusion.

All in all, it need not be very long, but it should show clearly what your essay will be about. Ideally, if you and I both wrote the essay separately, based on your outline, the outcome should be comparable.
