sentences.

2. Create a list of main points to support the thesis. State them in complete sentences.
3. Write a list of supporting ideas for each main point. State them in complete sentences.

EXAMPLE:

Topic: Use of Electronic Textbooks in School

Thesis statement: Schools should switch to electronic textbooks to save money and paper.
Writer’s specific purpose: To suggest to schools that electronic textbooks are better options than physical ones because
these can save money and paper
It takes many pieces of paper to write just one textbook.
An average textbook could take around 300 to 400 pages or more.
Combined the number of pages with the number of students in a classroom would mean a lot of paper and money used.
Textbooks should be switched to electronic ones.
Some students are starting to use online applications and electronic books and have seen their benefits.
The switch will help reduce the harm the creation of textbooks brings to the environment

Guided Questions
1. How can a sentence outline enhance our writing?
