All of the following are steps in creating a useful outline except writing the rough draft of an essay

The outline is supposed to help you write the rough draft of the essay, not the other way around. When you write the outline, you have to begin with introducing a working thesis statement which is known as "working" thesis statement. You will explain your ideas and determine the order of your supporting paragraphs it may need to change. You also need main and subheadings in an attempt to develope an outline. Also, when you're adding information into the outline you're matching like ideas and evidence together. An outline is used to help you organize your thoughts and ideas so that you can easily write the rough draft in a logical sequence.
