Organizing a Paper, Creating an Outline
11- Create
a detailed outline of your paper lays out a summary of the information
you will present in your final paper. At the end of Unit 4 of your textbook, there is a sample outline for you to generally follow, but I want you to build
an outline that conforms with the headings of a policy report. Below I have
listed the headings that must be included in your policy report. Following each
heading, I list the corresponding roman numerals from the sample outline that
corresponds to your research policy report sections.
-Title of the Policy Report
-Executive Summary
-Context and Importance of the Problem (I – III)
-Pre-Existing Policies, Policy Options, and Research
(IV – IX)
-Conclusion (X)
-Policy Recommendations
-Reference Page
2 2- For
Writing Assignment 2, you should include all 7 headings in the document that
you submit, but you only need to construct in outline form the sections Context
and Importance of the Problem, Pre-Existing Policies, Policy Options, and the
Conclusion.
For each subsection head in your outline, write the
last name(s) of the author(s) and year of publication of the article(s) that
you are relying on to create those subsections. Also, list alphabetically the
sources that you use under the Reference Page heading (properly cited in APA
Style). It’s easier to keep track of them now instead of having to go back
later.

the Reference Page, insert all of the abstracts that you used in your outline.
