Explain how outlining helps build a formal report.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. The content outline serves as a framework on which to build the report. In the development of the outline, the writer identifies the major and minor points that are to be covered and organizes them into a logical sequence. Outlining is an essential prerequisite to writing the report. The outline is a planning document and is thus subject to modification as the writer develops the report.Developing an outline requires the writer to think about the information to be presented and how it can best be organized for the clear understanding of the reader. REJ: Please see the section "Organization of Formal Reports" for more information.
