On a separate sheet of paper or your computer, create an outline using either the cause and effect or spatial organ-
izing principle. Your outline can be formal or informal. Use one of your brainstorms from Lesson 3 or 4, or one
of the brainstorms provided as an example to create your outline.

Organizing your ideas to create an effective essay is done on a number of different levels. Underlying all essays is
the assertion 
➞ support structure. For every idea or assertion you make, you need to provide examples, evidence,
and details as support. An outline provides a roadmap that not only helps you in the drafting process, but also
lets you see where your ideas may need more development or support. Within the outline, ideas can be arranged
using a number of strategies. Chronology or time sequence, cause and effect, and spatial arrangements should be
chosen and employed based on the type of information you are writing about.
