An outline is a helpful guide in organizing your paper. It is a skeleton of your work

that gives a visual structure to your work and is used to show relationships and
hierarchies within your content.
Example of Creating an Outline
How Coal Is Used
- R. B. Bunnett

The principal uses of coal have changed considerably since the end of the 1914-1918 War.
During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, coal was the main fuel used for
developing steam power for driving factory machines locomotives and ships. Coal was also
used extensively for generating heat for buildings. Today, very few factory machines or
locomotives are driven by steam, using coal as a fuel. There are three main ways in which
coal is now used: as a source of energy; for making coke for extracting metals from their
metallic ore: and as a raw material from which other chemicals, are made.

The Historical Cagsawa Ruins of Daraga, Albay

by Rjay Reyes on July 07, 2014

Situated in Albay, Cagsawa Ruins is a historical landmark that serves as the centerpiece of the
Cagsawa Ruins Park where tourists can enjoy the scenic view of Mayon Volcano. The ruins also
stood as an image of Bicol region‘s magnificent landscape for almost two centuries. It symbolizes
Bicol‘s rich history together with the strength and flexibility of the people towards calamities and
ravages of Mother Nature.
Cagsawa was derived from the word ―Kag which means owner and ―sawa for python. It could
also mean too much or excesses. The Cagsawa church was built after 1724 by the Franciscan friars
and was administered by Fray Francisco Blanco in the small town of Cagsawa. It was originally built
to replace a church that was erected in 1636 that had been destroyed by Dutch pirates.
On February 1, 1814, the greatest tragedy happened in Cagsawa and it was the eruption of Mayon
Volcano. The eruption buried the small town and nearby areas killing an estimated of 1, 200 people
who took refuge in the stone church. It was the strongest eruption recorded to date.

KAWA-KAWA HILL
by: FRANCIS LOUIE M. LAGANSON
(Creative Writing Student, MORMS SPA Curriculum)

In the region of Bicol, a magnificent hill is located just a few kilometers from the centro of Ligao City,
standing past a hundred meters with a lush flora and fauna. After a religious hike, you will be
rewarded by a breathtaking view at its summit. For years, the serene beauty of Kawa-Kawa Hill has
been attracting travelers in and out of Albay.

The great hill isn‘t only for show. It is also known as a nature park, with forest filled with various
types of trees and a variety of animals, some being endangered. Religious tourists also frequently
traverse on the hill‘s station of the cross to pray and to see the life-sized images depicting it, specially
during the Lenten season.
