HOW TO WRITE A TOPIC OUTLINE
20XX 6
A Topic Outline is divided into three levels: the Headings, the
Subheadings, and the Sub-subheadings
• The headings represent the main ideas and are indicated by Roman numerals.
• The subheadings represent the supporting ideas; they are indicated by capital
letters and are indented.
• Sub-subheadings are the specific details or concrete examples of the
supporting ideas. However, these are optional and only given when necessary.
They are marked by Arabic numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3 . . .) and are indented.

Factors to Consider in Writing an Outline
• The type of outline that should be used depend on these; the length of
your paper and the complexity of your material, to name only two. when
preparing to write a long paper which presents a lot of material and
complex issues, you might like to make a complete sentence outline that
maps out every detail of your arrangement and its evidence. if you are
going to do a short, relatively uncomplicated paper, perhaps a brief topic
outline would be suffiecient. Not the least important factor in your choice
of outline is your own preference.

headings.

organization of ideas.
