Before you begin your outline, go to the Assignments area of the classroom. Read what is required for your final paper and build your outline accordingly. The template and sample attached there will help you.
Your outline should include your thesis statement, a descriiption of the problem, alternative solutions (if you are exploring solutions), and the solution you are advocating (if you are suggesting a solution). Be sure that the elements of the outline are complete sentences. Please note that, if you have one subheading in a category, you should have a second subheading. Samples of outlines are attached.
I have attached the “Sharing the Problem” document for your reference to the outline. This is an ongoing assignment please use the information in the document to complete the outline for the final paper.
Final Paper instructions are below to assist you for the outline.
This analysis project requires you to tackle a problem within your field of study by first exploring it, its causes, and its impacts. Then, if you want, you can recommend one or more practical solutions to solve the problem.
After deciding on the problem you wish to tackle, begin building questions about it. Your goal for the analysis is to answer the questions through your sources. Finding multiple angles and perspectives is ideal so that you explore those possibilities in the final paper before settling on your recommendation. Be sure to identify what is at stake.
Here are questions to help guide your analysis:
What is the problem being addressed (explain, describe, and “prove” that it exists)?
Who is affected by this problem?
Why does this problem exist? (Identify the root causes.)
Why does the problem persist? (Identify the major factors that contribute to the problem’s ongoing presence.)
What is at stake if the problem is not solved?
If you decide to include a solution, use these questions to guide you:
Who can take action?
What should they do, exactly?
Why would this help?
What are the positive and negative aspects of your solution(s)?
