This chapter was on organizing and writing research arguments.Through this class, we aim to organize our research arguments through the use of an outline; therefore, we watched movie trailers to depict a visual version of such an outline. This chapter encourages visual organization of drafts such as graphic flow charts or bubble webs. Such outlines can help you to literally picture your research paper and then organize your argument effectively as a result. After sorting through your information with a visual information map, the next step is to transfer these thoughts into a formal outline. Such an outline uses letters, numbers, and bullets to form thoughts into specific ideas. These specific ideas will give the paper a general direction to head in and will help develop the argument fully. Through the use of these specific outlines, the writer can further "fill in the blanks" and go off of these general ideas to write a paper. I generally don't prefer to use an outline, but I will see how effective it can be in organizing my jumbled thoughts regarding this research paper.
