Your outline is the framework on which you will build your paper. It should begin with the proper heading, the title and the introduction. After that you should have topic sentences for each of your body paragraphs, followed by a quote from the primary source and a quote from the secondary source. I will be checking to make sure that:
1. Your topic sentence contains analysis, rather than summary or commentary.
2. Your primary and secondary quotes make sense with the topic sentence.
