While your outline can have more than five major sections, your last major section denoted by a Roman numeral should be your conclusion.  The support and details you plan to use for your conclusion should be written out in this section of the outline, using specific support and details just as you have used in the other sections of the outline.

REMINDER:  Throughout the entire outline write the actual  specific points that you plan to use in your essay; dont just announce or use a label.  For example, do not write Talk about that day.  Instead, write down the point you plan to make about that day.  The weather that day was sunny and warm.  The more specific your outline, the more detailed the essay will be, and the greater the chance that your thesis will be adequately supported for your readers.
PLEASE NOTE:  The entire outline is double-spaced, the font is Times New Roman size 12, the headings are at the top left of the first page, and the header is correct by including last name and page number at the top right of each page.  All of your assignments should use this overall MLA format.
