Before
doing any paper you always have to brainstorm on what you want to write
about. After brainstorming these ideas,
creating an outline would allow us to organize ideas into the proper
structure. Usually when I write a paper,
I just brainstorm on the topics that I want to write about. In my opinion, I feel that if I was to
incorporate outlining into my papers, then it would allow me to be more
efficient in organization. The examples
that were provided in the material were helpful and interesting.
Outlining
simple ideas for a paper allows the audience of readers to understand the
comparison and contrast of the topic that is provided. Once the outline of the paper is created,
then it would be a lot easier to implement the information in your
paragraphs. When reading chapters 29 and
30, I didn’t understand why it informed us to create an informal and formal
outline. Wouldn’t it just be easier to
get it over with and create the formal outline?
In
my experience I never had a problem with paragraphs. Some people believe that they should base
their paragraphs with a few sentences. I
usually keep my paragraphs 5-6 sentences, then I begin a new paragraph. Paragraphs are just a way to manage your
writing and give readers a break from continuous reading.
My thought on the formal and informal outlines is that, when I can get a way with it (the outline is not required and the material is not too complex), I'm going with the informal outline. In times when it is required or the complexity of the paper needs it, I'm going with the formal outline. I guess one could get started in a more general way with the formal outline before creating the informal one as a way to get warmed up, but that would be a matter of taste and need.
