Point

All writing tells a story.

Outlining helps you

figure out the story

you’re going to tell. You

think about which ideas

are more important

than others, and you

choose which ones

come first, second, and

third, all the way to the

end. Remember those

two big questions?

What is the main idea

I want my writing to

share? and What’s my

purpose for writing, the

job I want my writing

to do? Outlining helps

you answer them. It also

helps you feel ready and

maybe even excited to

tell your story. Let the

writing begin!
