  • You must write full sentences for the hook, the thesis statement, the topic/transition sentences, and the restatement of thesis.
  • Think of your supporting points and details as bullet points that you will elaborate on when you write the first draft of your paper.
  • If you take any information from research, make sure to include a citation in APA style. However, make sure that your outline does not rely too heavily on research. This paper is argumentative, not simply informative, so include your own original thoughts throughout.
