Craft the two sections for the outline assignment. The paragraph sections will become the major sections of your paper. They should not be thought of as the only body paragraphs you will need.
A good outline should also indicate alternate points of view, such as other solutions, other causes, or other effects. Dedicate some time to considering counterarguments.
In your conclusion, indicate why your argument matters to your readers.
Final Reminder: Remember to always cite any evidence you use, and all citations must have an associated end reference.
