BASIC ESSAY OUTLINE PLEASE USE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS TO GET ASSIGNMENT DONE
The basic essay outline is a format for the expressive, narrative, descriptive, or expository essay and requires a total of 25-26 sentences which may be developed into a five-paragraph essay with three supporting statements for each of three ideas stated. The body of the outline may be extended into as many paragraphs and supporting statements as necessary. The following model is presented as a formula for teaching purposes and is not intended to idealize any form of discourse. Teachers are encouraged to point out to students that effective writing is not formulated. The best writing develops through perseverance and derives its momentum from the desire to communicate ideas. However, a basic framework, such as the following, provides a valuable tool to the novice writer.

PERSUASION
Model One:
The outline may be adapted to serve as a model for persuasive writing when the writer changes the introduction to include explaining the situation or the issue, stating the exact problem, recognizing both sides of the issue, and taking a clear stand on the issue. The outline should include the three ideas with support; however, the ideas become reasons for supporting one side of the issue. The conclusion draws together the support, dispelling the objections presented by the other side.
Model Two:
The outline may also be adapted for persuasion by presenting both sides of the issue equally in separate paragraphs, following the format with an introductory paragraph, body which presents support with equal number of paragraphs for each side of the issue, and with a conclusion which draws both sides together with the writer taking a final stand.
