Kline's AP Lang-o-Rama: February 2020

Outline for environmental essay

The outline can be printed out or handwritten on a loose sheet of paper. It is due Friday, but if you need, it can be turned in Monday. There can be some vagueness in the outline, and you do not have to follow it when writing the essay if you change your mind, but the more definite you can be, the better. The purpose of an outline is to break down the complex task of writing an essay into manageable parts. In fact, when done right, the outline should be the hardest part of writing an essay. After you figure out your structure, you can then focus on fleshing out your essay, which is your first draft. Then, all you have to do is revise, revise, revise, and finish by editing for spelling and grammatical errors.

If you have a format you prefer, use that; otherwise, use the general format below:

Audience(s):

Purpose(s):

1. Topic Sentence:
a. first example/piece of evidence
b. second example/piece of evidence

2. Topic Sentence:

b. second example/piece of evidence

4. Topic Sentence:

b. second example/piece of evidence

Bibliography

1) A Bibliography is a list of all texts consulted during the process of research. A Works Cited is a list of all works quoted in the essay. Each entry in a Bibliography or Works Cited is called a “citation.”

2) Since a Bibliography stands alone, it needs the traditional MLA header on the first page. The Works Cited page does not need a header, and it should be stapled after the last page of your essay. Even if you have room to include your Works Cited on your last page, the Works Cited should be its own page. Yes, it’s a waste of paper. Sorry.

3) Works Cited or Bibliography is centered at the top of the page. It is not highlighted, underlined, or quoted.

4) Works are listed alphabetically by the first word in the citation, which is usually the author’s last name. Numbers are alphabetized before letters.

5) Work is formatted with a hanging indent.

6) Works Cited and Bibliography pages are double-spaced. Do not put an empty line / extra return between entries.

7) Beware of using citation makers. Be sure to check any citations you’ve imported from a citation maker for accuracy.

8) For sources from a database, omit the Location but include the Date of Access. From sources from the general web, include both Location and Date of Access.
