My topic is N.F.L. Injuries and in this 300-500-word, Formal Sentence Online, you will organize and outline the project that you intend to write about for your final Research Paper. If your Formal Sentence Outline is less than the word count, it is likely you have not fully developed your outline or adhered to the assignment appropriately, and this lack of development can severely impact your grade for this assignment. Your outline will include the elements listed below.
Your Formal Sentence Outline should also include a list of references in APA style and should adhere to APA convention throughout for in-text citation and style. You should include an APA-style cover page for your Formal Sentence Outline. The running head should include up to 50 characters from the title of the paper, along with a sequential page number in the upper right-hand corner. The entire outline should be double-spaced throughout, without additional spaces between sections. The thesis statement should be provided at the beginning of the outline, and it should be labeled “Thesis,” followed by a colon. The thesis statement should be an argumentative statement that embodies the argument of your paper. When writing your outline, make certain that every topic and subtopic is written as a complete sentence. Additionally, it is required to include in-text citations within your outline. For instance, one of your subtopics may be a direct quote; therefore, you would place an in-text citation at the closing of the sentence just as you would do if it were written in essay form. For example:
I. Hybrid vehicles are far inferior to our country’s available
A. Electric cars are more energy efficient and do not have tailpipe pollutants.
1. Nissan CEO, Carlos Ghosn (2008), states, “I want a pure electric car. I don’t want a
range extender that still uses oil. That is unsustainable” (para. 2).
Furthermore, any in-text citation will also have a correlating reference entry listed on the reference page. For the purpose of this outline, you will only reference the sources, which have in-text citations to match (in the outline). In later drafts, you will include every source that you used in your essay on your reference page. However, the outline only requires that you reference sources that were used solely in the outline.
You must include at least four headings in your outline, indicated by Roman numerals (I, II, III, IV). Each of these headings must have at least two subheadings, indicated by capital letters (A, B, C). The best outlines will break down these subheadings into topics, indicated with numerals (1, 2, 3).
