Week 10-1
Reverse Outline A Brief Review
- Look for things that are out of place. If your Reverse Outline feels like it's out of order, or like you're jumping back and forth, your paper probably does, too. If moving a sentence within the Outline makes sense, you can probably move the paragraph within the paper in a similar way.
- Look for things that are missing. The nature of summary--and therefore the Reverse Outline--is that there's not a whole lot of detail there. But keep an eye out for ideas that are missing, not just lacking detail. If there's something that's important to your argument that isn't on your Outline, it's probably missing from your paper, too.
- Move things around. Play with your Reverse Outline. That's what it's for. Try new things by moving pieces of your outline around, changing the order, adding things in, and taking things away. Each change you make to your Reverse Outline is one that you could make to your paper. If it helps the Reverse Outline make more sense, it's probably also going to help your paper work better.
In groups of 3-4, go through your Reverse Outlines and move stuff around.
Make a new outline for a complete essay that combines the material from these three phases to make an argument supporting Nollaig's position. How might we use this material to convince an audience?
We'll share and discuss these together after break.
