Does Writing Strands teach outlining?
Yes, Writing Strands teaches outlining throughout the series, but not in a traditional, abstract format. Rather than making students memorize a strict numbering pattern (I., A., 1., a., etc.), Writing Strands focuses on teaching students how to organize information and ideas, often in the form of a basic outline. Almost all exercises include some form of prewriting like this, and most have examples of outlines that students can use as models.
