how do I do a chapter outline .... my teacher said we should have already learned how to do it but I have never learned how to do one.

Answer 1

The first thing you do is to find the most important points. Most social studies books have the most important headings in bold-faced type.

After each important point, write the supporting details.

The beginning of your outline will look something like this:

I. Important point
. . . A. Detail
. . . B. Detail
II. Important point
