at my school, we use MLA format for our papers & what not. i was sick today so i didn't go to school, but my outline is due tomorrow. i have a few questions about MLA format for outlines.
-do you internally document an outline?
-i know you use roman numberals & capital letters, but do you need numbers after the capital letters?

Teaching
Thesis Statement- If you have one
I. The Job
A. Education
a. high school education
b. college courses
B. Pros of the job
a. Helping
b. work with children
C. Cons of the job
a. Salary
b. stress
Conclusion- restate info in outline in sentences.
then just keep going. Just remember, the outline (whole thing) needs to be double spaced. If using Microsoft Word, highlight everything then push Ctrl + 2. You do not use periods in an outline. Also, the introduction contains your thesis statement if you have one and the conclusion is a brief overview of the whole thing in sentences. Both should be about a paragraph long. If you have any more questions, let me know. I have done about 3 MLA style reports now. Took a business class on it too. Got A's on all of my papers.
