Please follow the four steps listed below for each writing prompt. Bring this packet to class each
day, and work on it at home each night for homework this week. You are allowed to type your outlines, but this
is NOT group work. Copied outlines result in a failing grade. This counts as a project grade.
1) Annotate the complex writing prompt by underlining the major topics and circling words you don’t
know.
2) Make a Quick Outline using only your paragraph topics and your main ideas. Be sure to include all
major topics that you underlined in step 1.

parenthesis)
