Friday 23 September history of jour - outline info

At this point, most everyone has made a selection for the History of Journalism project.
See list below. Remember only two groups may select the same topic per class.

To reiterate: everyone's outline is due Friday 30 September. The outline should follow the same format as if you were writing a 6-8 page research paper; however the paper part is not necessary. Keeping that in mind, these should be substantial, detailed outlines. A way of determining its success is that you should be able to pass the outline on to someone else and she could write a paper.
To proceed: Your outline heading is your topic. Now break down your topic. Start with the general, as you would in an introduction. See outline instructions below. Definition of topic? Purpose/ objective? Chronology? Technology involved? Individuals? Current events? Include analysis where appropriate.
Presentations: prezis or power points. Include film clips within these, if you wish, but make them very short. There should be primarily images and very, very few words. You are the presenter, the other stuff is your support. These will take place the first week of October.
Creativity and Imagination are highly encouraged.

TIMING: 7-10 minutes
No e-mailing (see previous blog). Use your jump drive or prezi account. Practice this. Make sure everything works.

How to Write an Outline

1.What is it?
An outline is a general plan of the material that is to be presented in a speech or a paper. The outline shows the order of the various topics, the relative importance of each, and the relationship between the various parts.

2. Thesis Statement of Summarizing Sentence
All outlines should begin with a thesis statement of summarizing sentence. This thesis sentence presents the central idea of the paper. It must always be a complete, grammatical sentence, specific and brief, which expresses the point of view you are taking towards the subject.

3. Order in an Outline
There are many ways to arrange the different parts of a subject. Sometimes, a chronological arrangement works well. At other times, a spatial arrangement is best suited to the material. The most common order in outlines is to go from the general to the specific. This means you begin with a general idea and then support it with specific examples.WE ARE USING A SPACIAL ARRANGEMENT FOR OUR PROJECT.

4.Types of Outlines
The two main types of outlines are the topic outline and the sentence outline. In the topic outline, the headings are given in single words or brief phrases. In the sentence outline, all the headings are expressed in complete sentences. WE ARE USING A TOPIC OUTLINE, THT IS SINGLE WORDS OR BRIEF PHRASES.

5. Rules for Outlining
1. Subdivide topics by a system of numbers and letters, followed by a period.
Example:
I.
A.
1.
a.
b.

2.

B.
1.
2.

II.

2. Each heading and subheading must have at least two parts.
3. Headings for parts of the paper of speech such as, Introduction and Conclusion, should not be used.
4. Be consistent. Do not mix up the two types of outlines. Use either whole sentences of brief phrases, but not both.
