Building the concept
Question: Do you think about how you are walking while you walk? Do you think about writing while actually writing sentences?
Writing, like speaking and thinking, is largely a subconscious activity; that is, we aren't consciously aware of how we're writing or talking or thinking while we are actually writing thinking or talking. We just write, talk, and think.
CFU: In your own opinion, why do we need to outline the article/essay we’re reading? How will it help you write your essay?

Descriptive outlining
This is way of de-constructing a text in order to determine how the parts fit together and how the author is building his point.
What it SAYS - a summary of the paragraph’s/section’s CONTENT- stated or implied main idea
What it DOES- describes the PURPOSE or functions of the paragraph/section within the essay (i.e.: provides evidence…, uses an analogy to…, summarizes an opposing view)

Skill steps
1. Divide the text into logical sections
2. Reread and stop on each section (paragraphs expressing the same thought) to start annotating.
a. In the “Content” column,” write a sentence to summarize the key point of the paragraph.
b. In the “Purpose” column, write the function of the content using a “does” verb.
3. Use your annotations to determine the main idea of the article.
