LET’S P CTICE IT

You know how to make a outline?

When writing about a specific topic, we can see how difficult it is for us to do it.

This is why I want to show you how to make an outline.

When we talk about an outline, we mean presenting the ideas in an organized way, to develop the theme we want. An outline helps you organize the information you want to present in a logical and coherent way. Once your outline is complete, you'll have a clear idea of how you want your role to play out.

Here are five steps to a strong outline:

1. Choose Your Topic and Establish Your Purpose. What do you want your readers to learn from reading your paper? What do you want them to understand about your topic? These questions can help you focus your ideas around the specific take-home messages you want to leave with your readers.

2. Create A List Of Main Ideas.

The goal here is to come up with a list of essential ideas that you are planning to present in your article or essay. This step can be a list of arguments to answer a question, a list of resources, or it could even include tips on how to do something.

3. Organize Your Main Ideas.

The goal of this step is to rearrange the list of ideas that you came up with in Step 2, putting them in an order that will make sense to you and the reader. Some common organizational structures are cause and effect, classification, chronological and process.

4. Flush Out Your Main Points.

Your goal in this step is to expand upon your original ideas so that your reader has a better understanding of each point. You can add more detail to each concept by including examples, quotes, facts, theories, or personal anecdotes. You’ll save time in the long run because your paper will be more logical and focused and your ideas will be fully developed.

5. Review and Adjust.

Most people would think that after step four your outline is done, but that is not the case. Writing is a repetitive process, and all good writers continue to review and revise their essay until they feel it is the best they can possibly be. Make sure that you’ve included all of your ideas and established the connections between each of your main points.

Among the requirements in the cadet program, they must write a essay. Let's look for a topic of interest, within the topics to present and practice.

Explain why America’s aerospace power is vital to commerce, science or national security.

Describe leadership mistakes you have made and explain what you learned from them.

Explain the difference between followership and leadership.

The ALASKA WING at The Great Alaska Aviation Gathering

by Capt Richard Dennis, PAO

Consider volunteering now for this year’s Aviation Gathering. Alaska’s Aviation’s coming out ceremony will be May 6 & 7 at the Palmer Fairgrounds and the Palmer Municipal Airport. Winter is waning now and the time to really enjoy Alaska and all that it has to offer is at hand.

And the tool to access the Great State of Alaska is AVIATION.

The Alaska Airmen’s Association started this great venue now nearly 30 years ago. Those first years, the event was held at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport at the Fed Ex Hanger. Following a hiccup caused by the International Health Crisis, the event has moved to the Palmer Fairgrounds. This is the 3 rd year in Palmer and now has more room then ever.

Oshkosh of the North ?? !

The Alaska Wing will have several displays/events occurring at this year’s expanding Aviation venue.

1. Alaska Wing CAP Promotional Display

2. Youth Activities Events

3. Trailered Flight Simulator Activity

4. CAP Aircraft Static Display

5. Survival Kit – Lecture Hall

Plan now to attend AND to volunteer. Meet fellow aviators, aircraft vendors; attend aviation related presentations; and assist our Alaska Wing to advance Civil Air Patrol here in Alaska.

Contact myself, Richard Dennis at (907) 822-5299 to check out volunteer opportunities.

CAPTION:

The 2019 Alaska Wing display at the Great Alaska Aviation Gathering. That event was held at the Fed Ex Hanger, Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. Cadets Beauchamp of the Tok Composite Squadron, along with Cadet Meyer of the Lake Hood Squadron volunteered. As attendants they answer questions about the Civil Air Patrol.

Civil Air Patrol, the longtime all-volunteer U.S. Air Force auxiliary, is the newest member of the Air Force’s Total Force. In this role, CAP operates a fleet of 560 aircraft, performs about 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and is credited by the AFRCC with saving an average of 80 lives annually.

CAP’s 57,000 members also perform homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. CAP also plays a leading role in aerospace/STEM education, and its members serve as mentors to 24,000 young people participating in CAP’s Cadet Programs.
