Critical essay outline
Be sure you have reviewed the “Sample Outline” and “Guide to Writing an Introductory Paragraph and Outline” before you begin.
Think about the library reading you have selected and your critical response to it. Write an introductory paragraph that includes background information, your working thesis statement, and your plan to develop that thesis statement.
Background information and plan:

Complete the rest of your outline in the section below; brief notes for each section will suffice. Think about the key points you are going to discuss in your essay and use this informal outline to organize those thoughts. Ideally, your bullet points will develop into supporting paragraphs and a conclusion. Feel free to add more bullet points than listed below. Be sure to note any quotes or paraphrases from the article that will support these points.
