Outlines.
Did I lose you already?
The idea of outlines and actually creating them can be confusing and frustrating to our students.
But what if we could make organizing material a little easier for them?
Intro to Writing, Part 3 takes some of the pain out of learning about outline. It uses material your students are already very familiar with: restaurant categories and the way grocery stores are organized.
The tutorial includes two free, printable worksheets and links to learning about my sticky-note method of organizing material (outlining). You can find the tutorial here or by clicking the image below.
