RESEARCH PROJECT - OUTLINE INSTRUCTIONS

You and your group will complete a full-sentence outline in preparation for the Final Document. The Outline cannot be completed until the group topic submitted receives approval from the instructor. The Outline must include a thesis statement, the research topic being addressed, how much space will be allotted to each section of the paper, and a preliminary reference list of at least 20 sources that are less than 10 years old.

Questions to consider in the Outline:

1. What is the topic?
2. Why is the topic significant?
3. What background material is relevant?
4. What is our thesis or purpose statement?
5. What organizational plan will best support our purpose?
6. How much space is estimated per section?

Also, include the elements noted in the Research Paper - Final Document Instructions.

Full-Sentence Outline

The full-sentence outline format is essentially the same as the alphanumeric outline. The main difference (as the title suggests) is that full sentences are required at each level of the outline. This outline is most often used when preparing a traditional essay. See the example below.

Thesis Statement:

Questions/Issues Being Addressed:

I. Man-made pollution is the primary cause of global warming.

A. Greenhouse gas emissions are widely identified by the scientific community to be harmful (Smith, 2014).

1. The burning of coal and fossil fuels are the primary releasers of hazardous greenhouse gases.

Full-sentence outlines are often accompanied by an APA reference list on a separate page. Quotes within the outline must also utilize APA in-text citations (adapted from Purdue OWL).
