Supporting Material  Supporting material provides intensification and reinforcement for the main headings. Example: I.My grandfather has been a good influence to his grandchildren. a)He is a hard worker. b)He taught us the importance of hard work.

Take 5-6 minutes to develop and write your supporting material on your outline. You will write them on lines A & B below each of the main points. Step 5: The Body

Details  Details narrow the outline even further, providing information that breaks down the supporting material to pinpoint accuracy. Example: I.My grandfather has been a good influence to his grandchildren. a)He is a hard worker. 1.My grandfather comes from a poor family and he worked hard to become educated. He was in the military when he was young, and this helped him get his degree. This taught me to work hard, no matter what circumstances life gives you.
