ASK students to prepare for class by getting out the two bubble charts they already completed, and several sheets of their own paper. 

DISTRIBUTE one “The Dreaded Outline” teaching worksheet to each student. 

READ the top of the first page with the class. (Explain that tomorrow they will be using their bubble charts to create their own outlines.)

ASSIST students as needed as they draw lines from the bubble chart to the outline on the first page.  

REVIEW the answers with the class, emphasizing that the outline has the same information as the bubble chart, but in a planned-out order.

REVIEW the second page of the teaching worksheet with the class.    

SHOW the complete outline for Susie’s ribbon, using either the overhead transparency master or the 1-slide Power Point.     

TELL students they will be using their own paper to make one outline for each of their bubble charts.  The format of their outlines should match the sample complete outline for Susie’s ribbon.     

GUIDE students through the outlining process. Tell them to start with the middle, leaving space at the top and bottom of the paper to fill in the introduction and conclusion parts later. They should follow the same process you went through on the worksheet.
