How to Outline Properly The outlining method is perhaps the most common form of note taking used by college students; an outline naturally organizes the information in a highly structured, logical manner, forming a skeleton of the textbook chapter or lecture subject that serves as an excellent study guide when preparing for tests. In your textbook, the major headings and blue and sub-heading are orange. Use these in your outline. All bold textbook terms should be highlighted or underlined in your outline and defined. Most textbook chapters are between 20-30 pages. 1. All outlines must be typed and single spaced. 2. Be sure to not copy directly from the text, but put those thoughts and ideas in your own words 3. Make sure you are not just listing information, you need to explain it. Every term, person, etc. should have a short explanation. You may know it now, but you won’t later. 4. Include details like names, dates, etc.. 5. Make sure you format correctly. Every “A” needs a “B”, every “1” needs a “2” etc.. (see sample) Indent each new subgroup. A. Main Idea 1. Detail a. Support b. Secondary Support i. Specific detail 6. Make sure your margins line up. 7. Do not waste paper by using a font larger than 12. Don’t kill my eyes with anything smaller than 10. 8. Outline the entire chapter, even the graphs, maps, primary source documents, etc. 9. Anything shorter than 3 pages will not pass; there is no way to cover an entire chapter in that length. Minimalists will not do well on this activity. However, 10 pages is too many. Don’t copy the chapter. Read and in our own words outline. 10. Make sure you have sub points. If you never go beyond capital letters ex. A, B, C, .. you will never have enough detail. 11. Use bold words or highlight key people and terms in the chapter. Proper Outline Format Ch # & Title I.

What is World History? Read the following quotes about world history and then answer the questions. William McNeill, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Chicago “We don’t study the history of each separate state to understand American history. Nor do we study the state histories of California, Texas and Alaska and presume that their population and/or geographic advantage gives us the complete picture. Rather we study national experiences and developments to understand the history of the US. Similarly, in world history, we do not study the national histories of the biggest countries or the developments of the largest civilizations. Rather, we explore the global processes and connections that have shaped the world through time.” Heidi Roupp, President of the World History Association “World history is developing as a macrohistory - a history of the human experience [where] encounters with strangers are the main drive wheel of social change.” Dr. David Smith, Professor, Cal Poly Tech, Pomona, CA “World history is more general than traditional history and emphasizes trends that transcend cultural boundaries. World history stresses the treatment of inter-action between societies. In eras where such inter-action is limited, it compares different patterns of development around the world. Hence a world history study may involve cultures that actually had contact and influence on one another or cultures that went through various stages of development with little or no outside influence. World history tends to be more superficial and general than local or national histories. This is not meant in a negative way, but in the sense of a comprehensive view of history. The old cliche of not seeing the forest for the trees applies here. World history looks at the forest for the overall, global meaning of history. ” Marilynn Hitchens, Professor, Univ. of Colorado at Denver “A world history course should strive not to become a course in great civilizations, a study of various regions of the world, or a global issues course. What it should be is the study of human change and continuity over time.” Geoffrey Barraclough, British Historian and former Chichele Professor of Modern History, University of Oxford “World history in its contemporary connotation is not a synthesis of known fact or a juxtaposition of the histories of different continents or cultures, arranged in some sort of order of relative importance; rather it is a search for the links and connections across political and cultural frontiers. It is concerned not so much with development in time or with the goal and meaning of history-- western preoccupations which non-western cultures for the mot part do not share-- as with the perennial problems which have assailed mankind everywhere and with the different responses to them. It [world history] has turned them [world historians] away from linear development, from the thread allegedly running through history from its earliest beginnings to the present day, to the comparative study of the institutions, habits, ideas and assumptions of men in all times and places.” 5
