Introducing the Single-Paragraph Outline (SPO): A Simple, Linear Guide
The Single Paragraph Outline (SPO) is a linear and simple outline that offers numerous benefits. It provides a clear structure with a beginning, middle, and end, eliminating repetition and improving students’ ability to stick to the topic. The SPO enables students to organize ideas logically and promotes analytical thinking. Its scaffolding activities help students understand the concept of a topic sentence and learn to organize and sequence details effectively. Teachers should continually revisit SPO scaffolding activities to reinforce specific skills needed to create an SPO independently.
