Steps to Outlining Section 5.1: What Are Earthquakes?

All outlines must be done on a separate sheet of paper. You may type a final copy of your outline, but a hand- written rough copy must be submitted with your final product.

1. Write the section number (Section 5.1) and the section title (What Are Earthquakes?) at the top of your page (centered)

2. Your outline will contain a Roman Numeral (I, II, III, IV) for each RED heading in the section. Count the number of RED headings on section 5.1. The first RED heading (top of page 130) will be the first topic on your outline.

I. Where Do Earthquakes Occur

3. Each BLUE sub-heading will be organized under the appropriate RED heading. You may want to use a capital letter (A, B, etc.) for each BLUE sub-heading in your outline. If there are no BLUE sub- headings in a section, main ideas, highlighted, italicized terms, etc. can serve the same purpose.

4. Be sure to include bold, italicized, and/or highlighted terms as you find them in your reading. Also, be sure to read picture captions, examine diagrams, etc. and include important content found in these areas.

5. Your complete outline should be structured very similar to what you see below, but it does not need to be exactly the same. Be sure to include any and all content that you feel is important. Your Name
