Self-contained piece of prose
1. In all likelihood, you probably have experience creating outlines as a step in researching and writing papers. In this manner, outlines are a part of the act of creating a self-contained piece of prose. This week, I have asked you to do nearly the opposite. You produced an outline from a published article. In what ways is the process of outlining the same, whether it be for the creations of new prose or understanding existing prose? Why might it be useful to create a new outline for your own paper as you finish each section of your paper and after you finish your initial draft?
