What is the format of an essay outline?

Najwa Yaminah
When it comes to writing your essay, outlining plays a vital role. It gives your essays a neat look and helps you track the progress of your work. Furthermore, it generates a greater impact on the audience and ensures that your thoughts are conveyed rightly. However, when it comes to outlining the essay, students are unaware of the format. Well, for this, choosing the APA outline format is the better option as it is easy and gives your essay a structured look. First, determine the thesis statement or the central idea you want to present in your essay. Use main headings, subheadings, and sub-sub headings in it. Chronologically organize your headings and ensure that each one connects back to the main idea. Similarly, while using the APA outline, ensure that Roman numerals are used for the main headings while the capital letters are used for the sub-headings. In case you need help in outlining, you can ask your professor to help you out. Once you have created your headings, add a bit of detailed information to it. Moreover, back your work with relevant examples, statistics, and graphs. It will give your audience a brief of what they will find.
