Wow, really good outline. It made me think about having to really change up my outline, I think I missed a little bit. Nice job.

Good clean outline. I looked at the sample he recomended in the syllabus. The main difference from yours is that it already had the various pieces of evidence, and arguments that would be used in the paper. Yours is more general which means you'll have to do more work later but you also have more time to think about what you want to use where.

Your outline was thorough as well as your Toulmin. What are those extra words and dashes on your outline for? Just curious.

Justin, I'm not sure what is showing up on the outline you are seeing...there are no extra words or dashes on my version.
