An after outline

I've heard of a lot of revision techniques in my days as a professional student. I personally employ reading out loud, printing it out and reading it with a red pencil to edit as I go, and passing it along to someone else who hasn't written it and can give me a fresh take.

What I hadn't heard of (until my teacher mentioned it) is making another outline after you've written the paper to make sure it flows. What a weird concept. But I think I'll try it.

My paper's structure did change a bit after I wrote and edited it. You can compare it to my first outline here.

Outline:

Introduction

• Introduce A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh stories
• Stories for children are generally to teach as they are constantly developing
• Compare to a story written to teach a lesson- The Story of Snow: The science of Winter’s Wonder by Mark Cassino
• Thesis: Although many consider nonsense literature to be purely for entertainment purposes, much nonsense literature like A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh stories are actually valuable to learners because they not only help children grasp the concept of language, but they teach them how to sift out the sense from the nonsense.

Just a little outline

I have found that it's nearly impossible for me to write anything without having an outline first. After writing the outline I've done probably half of the work to write the paper. Between the outline and the research and reading beforehand.

So just for fun, I wanted to share my outline for my Winnie the Pooh paper. I like to make it pretty detailed so it's almost like I just need to turn it into full sentences to come up with the paper. It is pretty long, so feel free to just glance if you don't want to read the whole thing.
