Here is an outline method I chose
Outline Template:
Introduction: Write a very brief introduction that concludes with your working thesis.
Body
In your first body paragraph, give the reader some context, scope or brief historical perspective on what is happening on this topic. You are setting the table, so to speak, so give us kind of an overview of how we’ve gotten to this point.
In your next body paragraph, start by addressing the concerns of the oppositioninitially. You’ve taken a stand on whether this ChatGPT and other AI are impacting your chosen branch of the media in a good way or bad way (something in the middle?); now think about who would disagree with you. Let’s deal with those people first. You could write here something to the effect of “Those who disagree with me say that . . . “ But now you need to rebut them. You can literally say something like, “But they are wrong because. . .(evidence to support why you think they are wrong).
You might even include a second concern of the opposition, beginning the sentence again with an indicator that you are bringing up someone else’s opinion, NOT yours: “My opponents also say that. . .but they are wrong because. . .(evidence to support why you think they are wrong).
Now that we’ve dealt with your naysayers, let’s get to your arguments. So, give us your first reason for why you hold the position you do. (This is going to be your topic sentence for this paragraph.)
First piece of evidence to support your claim
Second piece of evidence
Your second reason for why you hold the position you do.
First piece of evidence to support your claim (Your evidence might be a statistic, a study, a quote from an expert, etc.)
Second piece of evidence
Your third reason for why you hold the position you do.
First piece of evidence to support your claim
Second piece of evidence
Your fourth reason for why you hold the position you do.
First piece of evidence to support your claim
Second piece of evidence
Conclusion: Write a brief conclusion. You can think more about this when you actually sit down to write your paper.
Other things to consider:
Make sure you are specific with your claims above. In other words, where I have put “your fourth reason for why you hold the position you do,” you should be replacing that with your specific claim.
Notice that I’m suggesting you address the concerns of the opposition in your outline. I’ve built this in as the first part of your argument, but you could also place it at the end of your arguments.
You might have more than two pieces of evidence to support a specific claim; I’ve just put two to get you started.
Keep in mind that each section here may represent more than one paragraph. If you have lots of reasons or evidence for a specific claim, you may have several paragraphs to support that claim.
The more specific you are in mapping out your paper now, the less work you will have later.
