composition outline, also called composition plan. Making an essay outline is making a composition plan. It is the specific external expression of the composition.
composition outline generally contains three parts:
(1) title.
(2) Main content and center.
(3) structural arrangement. You need to pay attention to the following five points:
① Arrange the order of the materials.
②Determine the key content to write.
③ According to the materials selected in the article and the central idea to be expressed, determine the beginning and end methods, and briefly indicate them in the outline.
④ Design the timing and specific methods for answering questions.
⑤ Consider how to connect and transition between levels and paragraphs, what content needs to be taken care of, how to take care of it, and simply mark it.
Generally speaking, there is no fixed format and unified requirements for composition outlines. When you first learn composition, the composition outline should be thin rather than thick; as the level of conception and layout continues to improve, the composition outline can be written simpler. After making an outline, you need to thoroughly examine the entire idea. Is the selected material relevant? Is the intention clear and profound? What further trade-offs need to be made regarding the selected materials? Is the organization of the materials tight and reasonable, and can the center be highlighted? After deliberation, make necessary changes. Only when you are satisfied can you start writing.
Here are a few composition outlines for your reference.
