2. Making An Outline

When any one writes a story or a composition of any importance, he first makes an outline.

You have just used an outline of the story on page 105. This outline contained a topic to suggest what each paragraph should tell about. Make an outline for a composition about Good Roads.

First, think over carefully all the facts you will wish to tell about roads.

Second, decide what you wish to tell first; write a short topic to help you remember it.

Third, decide what you wish to say next, and write a topic to suggest what it is.

Continue doing this until you have topics that will suggest all you wish to say.

Read your topics and decide if they are in the best order.

Take them to class, and your teacher and classmates will help you decide if your outline is a good one. The class may work together, and make an outline, using the good suggestions from all the pupils. One pupil may write it at the blackboard.
