Rough Draft Outline
Pre-Draft 3.3: Rough Draft Outline
As you did for the close reading and lens essays, you will write a comprehensive outline to ensure that your paper has a logical structure and evidence that is relevant to your argument. Again, each paragraph should have a separate claim that supports the thesis, as well as evidence and analysis. In order to organize your paragraphs you will have to select and analyze quotations. The argument should develop as the paper unfolds. In other words, paragraphs should not be interchangeable. The outline can, but does not have to, follow the format below:
I. Introduction
A. Motive
B. Thesis
II. Paragraph #1 (Background information)
A. Topic Sentence
B. Contextualization: For research paragraphs, name the author of the source, his or her credentials and the name of the source. For close reading paragraphs, tell the reader what is happening in the case study.
C. Evidence: include the quotation and the page number
D. Analysis: restate the quotation in your own words for research paragraphs or give a brief summary of how you plan to analyze the quotation.
E. Relevance: a brief statement of how the evidence relates to your thesis
III. Paragraph #2
- Topic Sentence
- A. Topic Sentence
- B. Contextualization: For research paragraphs, name the author of the source, his or her credentials and the name of the source. For close reading paragraphs, tell the reader what is happening in the case study.
- C. Evidence: include the quotation and the page number
- D. Analysis: restate the quotation in your own words for research paragraphs or give a brief summary of how you plan to analyze the quotation.
- Relevance: a brief statement of how the evidence relates to your thesis
Etc… for ALL of the body paragraphs. You should have a minimum of ten body paragraphs.
Final Roman numeral: Conclusion—what are the larger implications of your argument? How does the text comment on a broader theme than just your specific claims?

Evidence: “The information on government websites does not include practical details related to the settlement and living in Canada or employment-related information…” (pg. 4)
