  2. I'm not sure but I'm guessing it's the usual outline for any kind of essay or paper except a little more detailed such as

    Title/Topic
    Introduction
    I.
    II.
    III.
    Body
    I.essay
    A.example
    1. What I'm writing is an example.
    II.
    III.
    IV.
    V.
    any additional information you'd like to add just keep adding with roman numerals them being the titles of minor topics in your main topics essay and then the letters being a fact and the numbers being more detailed explanations. Then you'll fill this out how you want with your information. Next is the...

    Conclusion:
    Youll want to close this out with a good idea of an ending to sum everything you've learned about your topic and what the outcomes or whatever the case may be from it are.

    Then for the real deal you should do a bibliography on a different page.
