PLANNING A TWO TO THREE-

PARAGRAPH COMPOSITION
USING AN OUTLINE
Look at the pictures.

SEDIMENTARY ROCKS
• What did you see in the pictures?
• What kind of rocks are these?
 After seeing the pictures, I will be
giving you an outline about sedimentary
rocks. Later on, we will be making a two
to three-paragraph composition
using the outline.
 Outlining is arranging notes so that
important ideas stand out and make clear
which point supports each of the important
ideas.
Topics are those numbered in Roman
Numerals I,II , III, etc.
The Subheadings are indicated in capital
letters A, B, C, D, etc.
 The supporting details are those
numbered in Arabic numerals 1, 2,
3, etc.

By connecting the details in the

outline, one can form a paragraph.
Read the outline. Write a two-paragraph composition using the outline below.

I. Sedimentary rocks - made of sediments cemented together

  A. Classic or fragmented sedimentary
- rock fragments carried by wind, water and glacier
  B. Chemical sedimentary
- deposits of minerals dissolved in water
  C. Organic sedimentary
- shells, skeletons and other parts of plants and
animals
  D. Cementing materials
- calcium carbonate, silica, mud, clay and iron oxide
Now, let us try to make a two to three-paragraph composition using the outline.

Sedimentary rocks are made of sediments cemented together.

There are four kinds of sedimentary rocks. Classic or
fragmented sedimentary, Chemical sedimentary, Organic
sedimentary and Cementing materials.
 
Classic or fragmented sedimentary are rock fragments
carried by wind, water and glacier. Chemical sedimentary are
deposits of minerals dissolved in water. Organic sedimentary
are shells, skeletons and other parts of plants and animals while
Cementing materials are calcium carbonate, silica, mud, clay
and iron oxide.
Group Activity:

The class will be divided into two groups. Group 1 will make a paragraph based on the first
part of the outline while group 2 will work on the second part of the outline. Your outputs will
be combined to form a two-paragraph composition.
Group 1
Pepper
I. Pepper - one of the earliest spices known to mankind.
A. So expensive that a pound of it was considered an
appropriate gift for a royalty to
give or to receive
B. Made as payment of taxes
C. Considered rich property
Group 2

II. Pepper - a tropical vine

A. Begins to bear fruit in four years
B. Produces heavily in fourteen years
C. Unripe berries produce black pepper
D. Ripe ones produce white pepper
Study Notes:
Outlining is arranging notes so that
important ideas stand out and make clear
which point supports each of the important
ideas.
Topics are those numbered in Roman
Numerals I,II , III, etc.
The Subheadings are indicated in capital
letters A, B, C, D, etc.
 The supporting details are those
numbered in Arabic numerals 1, 2,
3, etc.

By connecting the details in the

outline, one can form a paragraph.
Evaluation:
Form a two-paragraph composition using the following outline.
Taking Care of Our Bodies
I. The human body needs both rest and exercise.
A. Needs nourishment
B. A healthy looking body doesn’t just happen
C. A good deal of care is given to it.
II. The body needs food, as the machine needs fuel
as oil.
A. Requires an adequate amount of basic
nutrients
B. Protein, Fats, Carbohydrates and Minerals
 Taking Care of Our Bodies

The human body needs both rest and exercise. It

needs nourishment. A healthy looking body doesn’t
just happen. A good deal of care is given to it.
The body needs food, as the machine needs fuel
as oil. It requires an adequate amount of basic
nutrients such as protein, fats, carbohydrates and
minerals.
