Module 5: Lecture Materials -- Structuring the Essay Online Lecture - Structuring the Essay Instructions and Learning Objectives - W5Learning Instructions Welcome to Week 5 of our class!Examination: For this week, you will be seeing a post for your Midterm Exam. You may use your textbooks as you take this exam. The test is comprehensive in that it covers all the material we have reviewed so far in the course. Formal Outlines: As preparation for your future Research Project, we will be working on Formal Outlines once again. As you learned in an earlier module, outlines can be very useful for structuring an essay and arranging ideas. This week's assignment will ask you to outline an existing essay in order to learn more about the features of a well-organized essay. As you trace ideas in someone else's essay, you will better discern the way logical structures are created. As we learned in earlier modules, an outline can be a powerful part of the Planning Process within the overall Writing Process. Later on, you will be applying what you learned in this assignment to creating your own Formal Outline for your Research Paper project.
