Outline

I found using the outline really useful for writing my paper. Usually when I write my papers, figuring out what to put where, and how to structure my paper is the hardest thing to do. Since we had this outline, it was much easier for me to figure out how to organize my paper in order to make sure I have the support and things that I need to make it make sense. The outline, and using the notecards made it easy for me to remember and organize what quotes and ideas belong together because that usually takes me a pretty long time. Sometimes I'll think that a quote is really good and will support the main purpose of my paper but I won't be able to link it with something else because its hard to figure out what it belongs with. Using the notecards allowed me to look at different combinations of quotes and ideas to make my paper make the most sense. I think the outline takes kind of a long time to do, but it's definitely useful for writing the paper.
