You will complete a full sentence outline in preparation for the Research Project: Final
Document. The outline must include a thesis statement, the research question(s)/issues being
answered/addressed, how much space will be allotted for each section of the paper, and a
preliminary reference list of at least 5 sources (that are less than 10 years old).
Full Sentence Outline
The full sentence outline format is essentially the same as the alphanumeric outline. The main
difference (as the title suggests) is that full sentences are required at each level of the outline.
This outline is most often used when preparing a traditional essay.
Thesis Statement:
Question(s)/Issues Begin Addressed:
I. Man-made pollution is the primary cause of global warming.
A. Greenhouse gas emissions are widely identified by the scientific community to be
harmful.
1. The burning of coal and fossil fuels are the primary releasers of
hazardous greenhouse gases.
Full sentence outlines are often accompanied with an APA reference list on a separate page.
Quotes within the outline must also utilize current APA format for in-text citations.
Please use same 5 sources from Annotated Bibliography
