An outline about SOFTBALL VS. BASEBALL

Can someone help me to make an outline about SOFTBALL VS. BASEBALL. Please help I don't know how to start. Please Please. (compare and contrast)

Good morning :)

Well, the rough skeleton of an outline should look something like this:

THESIS STATEMENT/INTRODUCTION
I. MAIN POINT
a) Supporting detail/fact
i) Example illustrating main point I
b) Supporting detail/fact
i) Example illustrating main point I

II. MAIN POINT
a) Supporting detail/fact
i) Example illustrating main point II
b) Supporting detail/fact
i) Example illustraing main point II

III. MAIN POINT
a) Supporting detail/fact
i) Example illustrating main point III
b) Supporting detail/fact
i) Example illustraing main point III

REPEAT AS NECESSARY

CONCLUSION

Now, you can using comparisons as your main points and contrasts as your supporting details or facts if you'd like, or you can use a comparison as a main point, then a contrasting, then a comparison, then a contrast, etc. for the duration of the essay, supporting the appropriate details and facts as you go along.
I suggest starting out by doing the body of the outline first. Figure out what you really want to say, and then we'll figure out how to format it later. What you say is more important than how the paper looks when you are finished; think content not cosmetic.
Once you know what the main points are that you'd like to touch on, (differences in the way the field is set up, player positions, rules, etc.) then jot down a quick fact that supports that main idea (the field is set up as such-and-such, etc.) then provide an example of that (an example of this can be seen at such-and-such stadium; they have this, that, and the other). Then move on to the next point, working your way through as many main points as you need.
Leave your thesis statment until last, because you won't know what you've written about until you've written it :); then bring up the rear with a conclusion, tying your thesis into your body in a nice little bundle.

I hope this helps you get started!

I have given you the model to follow, as well as some suggestions for main points. It is now your responsibility to find the information you want to convey to your readers and fill in the blanks. We are here to provide you with assistance organizing and editing, not with filling in your content.
