All parts of the outline should be constructed and organized to support your thesis or central point. Therefore, before you begin the outline you have to have a sense of what you will argue in the paper: you have to be clear about your thesis statement. \nMain Categories. Arrange your general ideas in main categories. These are the main topics of your essay. Arrange your main categories in the order you discuss them.\nTo help you arrange your categories: look at your main categories, with your thesis in mind, try to find a way that the labels might be arranged in a sentence or two that supports your argument. \nSub-categories (Paragraphs). Within each general category list and arrange the paragraphs that support the category. \nSentences. Within each sub-category list and arrange your specific notes to support the argument made on that paragraph. This is the order of sentences in the paragraph. \nThe arrangement of caregories, sub-categories and sentences should present a clear, logical argument to support your thesis. Read here about Methods of proving a topic sentence. \nAlso, the different sections should relate logically to each other. Read here about Logic in Argumentative Writing. \nOrganize the outline according to your purposes: Are you attempting to show the chronology of some historical development, the cause-and-effect relationship between one phenomenon and another, the process by which something is accomplished, or the logic of some position? Are you defining or analyzing something? Comparing or contrasting one thing to another? Presenting an argument (one side or both)? \nSome methods of organizing:\nClimactic arrangement: one that works up to your strongest point, which is delivered as a kind of grand finale.\nThe inductive argument: in which you build up the evidence first, and then draw conclusions. \nA problem-solution format: involves presenting the problem first and then outlining the solution.\nMore Principles of Organization. \n\n\n\nTips \nA sample of a topic outline. \nAn outline can be written as a topic outline, in which you use only short phrases to suggest ideas, or as a sentence outline, in which you use full sentences (even very brief paragraphs) to show the development of ideas more fully.

20 pgs?!!? come on, its no that long! Believe me! I had to do a 132 pg biology report on human anatamy when i was a frshmen at high school, and it was a report just on the basics.  Have you ever heard of Writing P.O.W.E.R.? I have no idea who came up with it, but it’s an easy way to learn and remember how to write a good essay from start to finish—from topic to final draft. All you need to do is know what each letter stands for, then follow the steps in order for some P.O.W.E.R.ful writing!\n    \n   First comes P. P. stands for Pre-writing Preparation. This is all the stuff you do before you actually start writing your essay. Some students think this step is not really important and that they don’t need to do it. Wrong! Pre-writing Preparation is probably the most important step of all. Why? Because it’s here that you think, think, think about your topic, what you want to say about it, and how you’re going to say it. The more Pre-writing Preparation you do, the more ideas you will have, and the better your finished essay will be. Pre-writing Preparation is brainstorming for ideas. Some people write a big crazy mixed-up list of anything that comes to mind—good or bad, big or small, main idea or detail, important or not. It doesn’t matter—you will sort it out and clean it up later—this is just the time to start getting ideas out of your head and onto the paper. Some people write a cluster diagram or map of ideas instead of a list. Some do a combination brainstorm and outline. There’s no one best way to do Pre-writing Preparation; do whatever works best for you, but get those ideas on the paper!\n    \n   After Pre-writing Preparation, it’s time to Organize and Outline. This means you look at your list, map or cluster diagram and try to find connections. If you have done good, extensive Pre-writing Preparation, you should have enough ideas there to start seeing a pattern and choosing your essay’s body topics. Do you see a few large, general groups? These become the body paragraph topics. There should be three or more, if possible for the typical essay. All of the little ideas relating to these bigger groups will become the examples and details, in other words the support, of the body topics. Any ideas that don’t make sense, don’t go with your body paragraph topics or are repetitive can go in the garbage! Organize and Outline means taking your ideas, then putting them into logical categories, then listing all the details and examples or information you have about them. Some writers do the introduction and maybe the conclusion at this stage. If that works for you, great. If not, save it for later. \n  \n   After Organize and Outline, it’s time to Write. This will be your first draft, which means it will look basically like an essay, with an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion. However, it doesn’t need to be perfect. You can Write the introduction first, or write the body first and the introduction last. It doesn’t matter what order you Write the paragraphs as long as the reader reads the introduction first. Don’t worry too much about handwriting or typing, spelling or grammar at this point—just get those paragraphs on paper. Take the three (or more) big groups from your Outline. Write a topic sentence for each body paragraph with this big idea as the topic. Now, put all of the examples and details into supporting sentences. Make sure every sentence in the paragraph is about the paragraph’s topic and that every paragraph is about the essay’s topic! If you want to write about something else, please do it in a different essay! \n    \n   If possible, put your first draft away for a few days. This will help you see it with fresh eyes when you Edit and Revise. (Actually, you Revise before you Edit, but then that would give us Writing P.O.W.R.E.! So, let us make the E. something like Error Elimination and Example Expansion. This covers both Editing and Revising!) So, first check your

Start with brainstorming, then clustering, and finally the formal I, II, III kind of outline. The more precise and complete your outline is, the easier it will be to write the paper. If you do it right, the paper will seem to write itself.

When writing, make sure to pay careful attention to:\n\n1.SUBSTANCE\n\nSubstance refers to the content of the essay and the message you send out. It can be very hard to gauge in your own writing. One good way to make sure that you are saying what you think you are saying is to write down, briefly and in your own words, the general idea of your message. Then remove the introduction and conclusion from your essay and have an objective reader review what is left. Ask that person what he thinks is the general idea of your message. Compare the two statements to see how similar they are. This can be especially helpful if you wrote a narrative. It will help to make sure that you are communicating your points in the story. Here are some more questions to ask yourself regarding content.\n\nHave I answered the question asked?\n\nDo I back up each point that I make with an example? Have I used concrete and personal examples?\n\nHave I been specific? (Go on a generalities hunt. Turn the generalities into specifics.)\n\nCould anyone else have written this essay?\n\nWhat does it say about me? After making a list of all the words you have used within the essay -- directly and indirectly -- to describe yourself, ask: Does this list accurately represent me?\n\nDoes the writing sound like me? Is it personal and informal rather than uptight or stiff?\n\nRegarding the introduction, is it personal and written in my own voice? Is it too general? Can the essay get along without it?\n\n\n2.STRUCTURE\n\nTo check the overall structure of your essay, conduct a first-sentence check. Write down the first sentence of every paragraph in order. Read through them one after another and ask the following: \nWould someone who was reading only these sentences still understand exactly what I am trying to say? \nDo the first sentences express all of my main points? \nDo the thoughts flow naturally, or do they seem to skip around or come out of left field? \nNow go back to your essay as a whole and ask these questions: \nDoes each paragraph stick to the thought that was introduced in the first sentence? \nDoes a piece of evidence support each point? How well does the evidence support the point? \nIs each paragraph roughly the same length? Stepping back and squinting at the essay, do the paragraphs look balanced on the page? (If one is significantly longer than the rest, you are probably trying to squeeze more than one thought into it.) \nDoes my conclusion draw naturally from the previous paragraphs? \nHave I varied the length and structure of my sentences? \n\n\n3.INTEREST\n\nMany people think only of mechanics when they revise and rewrite their compositions. As we know, though, the interest factor is crucial in keeping the admissions officers reading and remembering your essay. Look at your essay with the interest equation in mind: personal + specific = interesting. Answer the following:\n\nIs the opening paragraph personal? \nDo I start with action or an image? \nDoes the essay show rather than tell? \nDid I use any words that are not usually a part of my vocabulary? (If so, get rid of them.) \nHave I used the active voice whenever possible? \nHave I overused adjectives and adverbs? \nHave I eliminated clichés? \nHave I deleted redundancies? \nDoes the essay sound interesting to me? (If it bores you, imagine what it will do to others.) \nWill the ending give the reader a sense of completeness? Does the last sentence sound like the last sentence? \n\n4.PROOFREADING\n\nWhen you are satisfied with the structure and content of your essay, it is time to check for grammar, spelling, typos, and the like. You can fix obvious things right away: a misspelled or misused word, a seemingly endless sentence, or improper punctuation. Keep rewriting until your words say what you want them to say. Ask yourself these questions:\n\nDid I punctuate correctly? \nDid I eliminate exclamation points (except in dialogue)? \nDid I use capitalization clearly and consistently? \nDo the sub

Well, write the process...in great detail. That's pretty much it. And also do as the first person(?) said....Read some lemons to get an idea.

It's how you organize a composition or theme paper.\n\nIntroduction: Introduce your topic. This is where you present the idea you intend to prove.\n\nBody: Provide details, information, evidence supporting your point of view. Traditionally, this requires at least three paragraphs, each with a supporting point.\n\nConclusion: Summarize what you have proven and draw a conclusion. This is where you restate how you have proven your thesis/point.\n\nAnother way to look at it is: (1) Say what you're going to say, (2) Say it, and (3) Say what you said.\n\nHere are a few links to get you started:

There is no special format. The content however should contain the following.\n1. The list of participants.\n2. Time (Start and End) of the meeting\n3. Purpose of the meeting\n4. The list of issues discussed during the meeting (The different items discussed during the meeting)\n5. The list of action items, that is what was decided and who is responsible for carrying out which of the different decided actions.

The other answers were valid and good advice.  I would add that you should critically look at the short paper and see if you could outline it.  If your points follow smoothly you should easily be able to create an outline from what you've written.  If you can't, maybe some re-organization is in order.  As a last thought for you, the adage "tell them what you're going to tell them, then tell them, and then tell them what you told them" will make sure you have a beginning, a middle with your information, and a summary (beginning and summary can just be a short sentence).    Since your essay is short, I've included a link to a short article speaking about seven steps to writing a good essay.  Good luck.  Hope you get an Excellent written in red across the top!

your question betrays you - \n-it leads to another:  Are you qualified by education and experience to start such an organization?  \n-and another: Do you plan to run this organization?\n\nYou may have had a course on grant and proposal writing when you were in school - if not, return to your university: that may be a good starting place.

Just find something you are very captivated or interested in and make it narrow enough so that the structure can be branched off to create organisation. its not about what you talk about, its all about how you talk about. if im right about this speech criteria. many things are argueable* \n~spence ; )
