  • *1 - Your rough outline should be very brief – it’s just the main ideas/topics you’ll address based on subject’s life.
  • *2 -  Final outline should have more information in it, including examples.  An outline, not a list (as some of you gave me on the last project; not full sentences and paragraphs either. It should show the difference between main ideas and supporting evidence.  Please get this right this time.
  • *3 - Final draft: You need to highlight in yellow any sections you have revised from the first draft.  I want to see that you’ve made revisions.
