Your outline should show how the final paper will flow, start to finish. It will include the following:
the Introduction and what you now think your thesis will be (note: your research question will be here now);
the two sections already drafted (i.e. the summary and literature review), including any revisions in organization within sections and transitions between sections;
what you will say in your Discussion and Analysis section;
and the points you will make in your Conclusion.
Note: This should only be an outline. I should not see fully written paragraphs of any section
