  1. How to Turn Your Bubble Map into a Formal Outline

  2. Look at your bubble map. • Do you have similar “grandchild” bubbles under each viewpoint? (Look at how the green bubbles on each side are the same.) Topic Viewpoint 1 Viewpoint 2 Hurt economy Baby Boomers Help economy • If your bubble map resembles this one, your outline will be based on the “grandchildren,” as in the example on the next two slides. Social Security Social Security Retirement Retirement Medicare Medicare Living longer after retirement Depleting funds Delaying retirement System changing to meet changing needs

  3. Notice that the green bubbles under each viewpoint are the same. Hurt economy Baby Boomers Help economy • For a bubble map like this, the “grandchildren” (green bubbles) will be the Roman numerals, and the “children” (red bubbles) will be the capital letters. • The “great-grandchildren” (blue bubbles) will be the Arabic numerals under the capital letters. • See the example on the following slide. Social Security Social Security Retirement Retirement Medicare Medicare Living longer after retirement Depleting funds Delaying retirement System changing to meet changing needs

  4. The Impact of Baby Boomers on America’s Economy • Thesis: Blah blahblah . . . (We’ll get to this in a minute) • I. Medicare • A. Ways Boomers will hurt • 1. Living longer after retirement • 2.

Another way Boomers’ retiring will help the economy • III. Social Security • A. Ways Boomers will hurt • 1. One way Boomers will hurt social security • 2. Another way Boomers will hurt social security • B. Ways Boomers will help • 1. One way Boomers will help Social Security • 2. Another way Boomers will help Social Security There will not neces-sarily be two Arabic numerals for each capital letter

  5. Look at your bubble map again if yours didn’t resemble the first example. • Instead of having similar “grandchild” bubbles under each viewpoint as in the previous example, do you have different “grandchildren” as in the example below? (Look at the yellow ones.) Volunteering Hurt economy Baby Boomers Help economy Increasing health issues Longer lifespans Decreased spending Depletion of Medicare and Social Security Extensive Experience Financial Security Flexible Schedules Retirement Aging Active and Healthy Out of workforce Encore Careers • If your bubble map resembles this one, your outline will be based on the “grandchildren,” as in the example on the next slide. • Here, the Roman Numerals will be the “child” bubbles (the two opposing viewpoints—purple bubbles), the capital letters will be the “grandchildren” (yellow) and the Arabic numerals the “great-grandchildren” (pink).

  6. The Impact of Baby Boomers on America’s Economy • Thesis: Blah blahblah . . . (Seriously, we’ll get to this in a minute) • I. Hurt Economy • A. Retirement • 1. Out of the workforce • 2. Decreased spending • 3. Depletion of Medicare and Social Security • B. Aging • 1. Longer lifespan • 2. Increasing health issues • II. Help Economy • A. Financial security • B. Flexible schedules • 1. Volunteering • C. Extensive Experience • 1. Active and healthy • 2. Encore careers

  7. Now for the thesis. For this position paper, the thesis will be YOUR position on the topic in the center bubble. You have 3 choices: • You agree with the left bubble. • You agree with the right bubble. • You think that sometimes the left bubble is correct and sometimes the right bubble is. (This is a HYBRID thesis, and you must specify the conditions under which each is true.) • Your thesis must: • be a simple sentence (preferably) • be written in third person • be precise and specific. Avoid clichés, metaphors, and words like colorful, interesting, and exciting. • ask to have more said about it. It should demand some proof.

  8. That’s all there is to it! Work on creating your thesis and outline during Writing Workshop time. It will be turned in tomorrow.
