ACTIVITY 4: CREATING READING AND WRITING
This worksheet was made and written with you in mind. It is here to help you outline reading texts in various
disciplines. After going through this worksheet, you are expected to make an outline on reading texts in various
disciplines.
The previous lesson thought you that creating thesis statement comes as result of pre-writing. It is a product of
thinking about your ideas, seeking evidence, and looking for relationships between your ideas and your evidence.
Hence, it is not just the most important idea, but it controls the essay by determining what you should or should not
include in your work.
This new lesson (Creating Reading and Writing Outlines) is the next step in organizing your ideas (after creating
your thesis statement). But why do you need to think about the organization of your paper? No matter how original or
compelling your ideas are, they will not be appreciated by the reader if these ideas are not organized. Readers
appreciate it when they can see the relationship of one part of the text to the next. As a writer, you should strive to
achieve coherence in your writing. So, this will also serve as your guide and a roadmap to your writing destination. Enjoy
your journey as you discover Lesson 4. Good luck!
WARM UP
The word OUTLINE can be intimidating, especially to students. But if you know that a writer uses an outline for
an essay the way the architect uses blueprint for a building, then you will have an easier time understanding its purpose
in the writing process.
To better familiarize you with the concept of an outline, can you think of other things you can compare an
outline’s purpose to, like in the case of the architect’s blueprint? Write your answers beside the lines in the image.

OUTLINE

Story Outline Teacher’s Lesson Plan

WHAT’S THIS
An outline is a summary that gives essential features of a text. It shows how the parts of the text are related to one
another as parts that are equal importance, or sections that are subordinate to a main idea.
There are two kinds of outlines: the reading outline and writing outline. A reading outline is used to get the main
ideas of a text that are already written. It helps you understand the text’s structure more critically because you will have to
find the text’s thesis statement and support. You will better understand how a writer connects and sequences the information
in the reading. Meanwhile, a writing outline is a skeletal version of your essay. It is used as a guide to organize your ideas. It is
usually done before you write the first draft of your essay. There are also two styles of outline: scratch outline (or topic) is
simple list of ideas that take the form of words and phrases; and Sentence outline uses sentences to define the subject
matter.
Creating a Reading Outline
A reading outline is highly structure. Below are some steps that you can follow in creating a reading outline:
1. Read the entire text. Skim the text afterward. Having an overview of the reading’s content will help you flow its
structure better.
2. Locate the main idea or thesis of the whole essay
● Look at the title of the text.
● Look for heading, if any.
● Look for information that answers the questions, “What is the text talking about?”
3. Look for key phrases in each paragraph of the essay
4. Locate the topic sentence of each paragraph
5. Depending on the length of the text, look at the topic sentences and group those with related ideas together. See
if they describe a process or are examples.
6. To logically organized information, the contents of the reading are arranged according to levels. A level refers to
the number of ranks in the hierarchy of information in the reading. Provide a general group name for each group
topic sentences. These will be the main division of your outline, or the first level. Label these with a Roman
numeral. The topic sentences will be the subtopics, or the second level. Label these with capital letters.
 7. Evaluate the supporting details provided. These will be the third level of your outline. Labe these with Arabic
numerals. I
8. Go back to the text after you have finished your outline. Check whether you have followed its sequence closely
and that you have not missed any important information.
Creating a Writing Outline
A writing outline is basically a skeletal overview of your draft, which contains your fundamental points and
different ideas that support them. It shows you where each of your ideas is placed in your writing; how all of them fit
together; and how each lead to the central idea of your writing. Below are the parts of a formal outline. Like reading outline,
the main ideas are written Roman Numerals. Supporting ideas are written beside Capital Letters and indented. Specific details
are written beside Arabic numbers and are further indented.
Format:
I. Main Idea
A. Supporting idea to I
B. Supporting ideas to I
1. Supporting idea to B
2. Supporting ideas to B
a.) Supporting idea to 2
b.) Supporting idea to 2
II. Main Ideas
A. Supporting idea to II
B. Supporting ideas to II
C. Supporting ideas to II
Some suggestions in creating your outline:
● Determine what your purpose is for writing the thesis.
● Begin your outline with a thesis statement
● Review your notes
● Group together similar ideas and thoughts
● Label all the main topics (roman numerals)
● Identify subtopics and classify them (uppercase letter)
● Identify supporting points like illustrations and examples (Arabic numbers)
● Identify particular details like statistics, quotes and other secondary info (lowercase letter)
● Check your outline for unsupported evidence
● Re-examine all your main topics, subtopics, supporting points and particular details to see that they all
develop your thesis
● Show your propose outline to a number of people such as your teacher, classmates, friends or even your
family. Get feedbacks from them on what to improve in your outline
