An outline is a plan for presenting the content and arranging it logically for the reader. While there are many ways to develop an outline, the ultimate goal is to identify the content to be covered and to organize it prior to beginning a draft. By using an outline, you have a basis for writing the draft, allowing you to focus on the content rather than on decisions as to organization. Remember, it is easier to revise an outline than the draft of an entire paper.
