What is an
Outline?
 What is an
Ouline?

● An outline is a tool used in improving and

organizing written ideas about a topic into a
logical order. Writers use outlines when writing
their papers to know which topic to cover and in
what order.
 What is an
Ouline?
● An outline is a general plan of the material that
is to be presented in a speech or a paper. It is a
list that shows the system wherein ideas are
ranked one above the other according to
importance of topics or ideas. This will serve as
the plan or framework on how to go about or
present something.
 Two Main Types of Outline
1. Sentence Outline

It is a type of outline that:

- presents the thesis statement, major

topics, subtopics, and supporting
details in sentence form.

composed of sentences and headings
around the subject of the speech or
essay.

subheadings must be words or
phrases, not sentences.
2. Also, the wording within each
division must be parallel.

 Clouds can be used to predict weather because different types of clouds
signal different kinds of weather. Cirrus clouds are generally wispy and
elongated in form. They are made of ice crystal and appear in sheet like
formation. They are low, dark clouds which may indicate snow or rain.
Cumulus clouds are billowy. They are white and may appear during good
weather. Nimbus clouds are dense, dark, rain producing clouds. The
identification of cloud types is an important skill for aviators and
aviation meteorologists because clouds present variable icing hazards.
Ice formation can drastically reduce the effectiveness of air foils (wings,
flags, rudder, ailerons and elevators) and may destroy the control of an
aircraft.
