After brainstorming, creating an outline allows you to map out your ideas to use during the drafting process. Outlines use the ideas from brainstorming to create a pattern in order to fully develop a genre and organize ideas to draft an effective essay or other document. In this lab, you will complete the following: Create a keyword outline from a concept map. Using the concept map developed in Module 1 (or after creating a concept map based on a choice you have made that has impacted your life in some way).
