6. The general outline…

2018 Sample Working Outline

Thesis: PROTOTHESIS (very simplified): Hollywood depiction
of Mental Health issues bad, ugh.

I.    Major Point- Focus on salacious details, not necessarily true
in diagnosis

A. Evidence/Example

1. Quote from “Girl Interupted”: “Wynona Rider
and Angelina Jolie hyper-sexualized and portrayed
as overly promiscuous rather than as manic in other
ways as the author intended.” (citation here)

B. Analysis of Evidence

1. Quote #2

2. Etc.

C. Evidence/Example

D. Analysis of Evidence

E. Evidence/Example

F. Analysis of Evidence

II.   Major Point- Little or no focus on more prominent mental
health issues.

A. Evidence/Example “According to mental health advocate
Mary Crazycurls, nearly seventy percent of all mental health
issue revolve around depression and the general psychosis
surrounding phobias and OCD.”

III.   Major Point____REPEAT AS NECESSARY FOR PAPER

A. Evidence/Example

DOL Numbers

Rule #1: 1-10 write them out; as for the rest, generally use the
numbers, unless you need more clarity in sentence for some
reason. Hyphenate compound numbers (ex: eighty-three people)

Ex- unclear: The club celebrated the birthdays of 6 90-year-olds
who were born in the city.

Clearer: The club celebrated the birthdays of six 90-year-olds
who were born in the city.

Rule #2- Numbers at beginning of sentence spelled out.

Six super bowl appearances by the Patriots (2004-2018) have
pegged as the team to beat in the twenty-first century.

Rule #3- Date/Time: April 9, 2018 or the 18th of April in the
1980s.

8:00 a.m. or eight o’clock in the morning

Rule #4- Be consistent

I hope to get 4s on my paper but three previous attempts have
yielded only 2s. (specific numerical score pluralized and can
have apostrophe or not--and I chose or not)

I ate two apples, six oranges, and three carrots.

NOT: I ate two apples, 6 oranges, and 3 carrots.
