usually analyzed in headings and subheadings

Formal outline/ Traditional
 thoughts are organized using a number/letter
system which designates the main and
subordinate points of a certain text
1. A topic outline lists words or phrases. A sentence
outline lists complete sentences.
A topic outline arranges your ideas hierarchically
(showing which are main and which are sub-
points), in the sequence you want, and shows
what you will talk about. As the name implies, it
identifies all the little mini-topics that your paper
will comprise, and shows how they relate.
2. A sentence outline does all of this, plus it shows
exactly what you will say about each mini-topic.
Each sentence, instead of simply identifying a
mini-topic, is like a mini-thesis statement about
that mini-topic. It expresses the specific and
complete idea that that section of the paper will
cover as part of proving the overall thesis.
Rules to remember in Formal outlining
1. Roman numerals – main ideas
Capital letters – major details
Arabic numerals – minor details
2. Place a period after each numeral or letter.
3. Capitalize the first word in each line.
4. Use indentation to indicate importance.
5. Each heading and subheading must have at least two
parts.
6. Be consistent. Do not mix up the two kinds of formal
outlines. Use either whole sentences or brief phrases,
but not both.
