Basic Reminders • An outline either uses sentences or phrases for descriptions. Not Both • A sentence description has to have a subject, predict, and a complete thought. • Phrases are short and only two to three words. Ex. Name (Thomas Edison), date (1901), and location (Menlo Park) • If you have a Roman Numeral I, you must have a Roman Numeral II. • If you have an “A”, you must have a “B”. All entries must be paired.

Basic Reminder 2 • Follow the example on your Pink Outline Sheet. • Remember Introductions and Conclusions are typed word-for-word and do not get Roman Numerals. • Remember Noodletools will not do the work for you.
