What I Need to Know

Objective: Plan a two-three Paragraph Composition Using an

Outline/Other Graphic Organizers.
EN5WC-1a-1.1.6.1

What’s New

An outline is a good way to organize your thoughts if you are planning to

write a composition. It is a skeletal presentation of the parts of your composition
which will help you stay on course once you start writing. An outline can have
main topics, subtopics, and details depending on how long your composition will
be. Every outline should have a title.

There are two kinds of outlines:

a. Topic outline – consists of short phrases
b. Sentence outline – done in full sentences:

Remember the following when making an outline:

1. Identify the main topic that you are going to write about
2. List down subtopics that you want to discuss in your composition
3. List down key points and details that will support your subtopics
4. Figure out the best flow or order of information using the topics and key points
that you have listed.
5. Make your outline using the format.

Study the sample topic outline below:

Cats
I. Cats and the feline family
A. Common things cats have
1. Short, rounded heads
2. Long face whiskers
B. Deadly weapons cats have
1. Sharp teeth for grabbing and biting
2. Powerful claws that can be pulled back
Now, we will also learn to plan a two-three paragraph composition using other graphic
organizers.
Graphic Organizers are aids that show visual explanations of concepts and relationships
among ideas presented in texts. You will be able to grasp and recall information fast, thus, you
will understand the text better.
