In the Outline, your main arguments must be clear. You must find at least 1 piece of literature to support each argument and identify 2 viewpoints opposed to your thesis. In the outline, the required information is highlighted in yellow. The rest of the outline will help you to stay focused and organized as you continue to add source information each week, but will not be due as an additional assignment.
Regardless of which you choose, you must also submit at least 5 scholarly sources in APA format. This is the same citation style used in the Annotated Bibliography. Include the 4 from that assignment, and add at least one more that you’ve found since then.

Classical Outline
For the Week 3 Outline, read through the template below, then use red or blue font to add your content. The yellow highlighted areas indicate minimum required information for this outline assignment:
- Your Arguments A., B., C, (and more if using) in sections II. and III.
- Opposing Arguments A., B. (and C. if using) in section IV.
- Evidence (quotes/paraphrases/summaries) in support of both sides (1.s in those sections).
- Explanation or analysis of evidence (2.s)
You do not need to fill in every other blank in the document, though you are encouraged to complete as much as you can. Use the additional areas of the template to guide your research and writing in the coming weeks. Page numbers after each section heading show how approximately how long that section will be when written.
