A few previous blog topics have dealt with outlines. When doing formal writing (such as essays, papers, or even something that you'll be submitting for work), it's best to do an outline to plan your thoughts and make sure you have the "map" of where you want to go!
So let's practice this! Make a simple outline telling about your Thanksgiving day. Imagine that this outline would then form the basis of your essay. Remember that outlines can be short. Just using a word or a phrase for each part is enough.
I'll start!
I.) Introduction
II.) Food preparation
III.) Cooking
IV.) Clean-up
V.) Conclusion
From that outline, it's pretty easy to see that my essay would have 5 paragraphs and that the body paragraphs would talk about the preparation, cooking, and clean-up (in that order). Wasn't that neat?
Now you try!

I spent Thanksgiving at my moms house.
I helped her set the table with the food.
The rest of the family showed up afterwards to eat.
I helped my mom clean up and I took some food to carry with me.
Finally we said our good-bye's and left.
