Problem-Solution Essay Outline
*Label and underline the name of each section. You are doing a phrase/topic outline. Only write out
what it says. I prefer to have this typed, but you may handwrite it if it is: neatly done, in blue or
black ink only, on the front side of a clean piece of paper. Be sure to include the internal citations
for the information from your sources. If you have no internal citations, I WILL TREAT THE
OUTLINE AS PLAGAIRIZED AND YOU WILL RECEIVE A ZERO WITH NO REVISION
OPTION!
