Case Study Outline Method
Writers around the world have extensively used the signpost outline to logically structure their books, especially novels and stories. The signpost outline helps writers treat each scene as a separate entity, which in turn increases their effectiveness in describing and organizing the story besides keeping eye on the big picture.
A typical signpost outline used by novelists around the world has the following format:
- scene number and short description;
- setting;
- characters;
- plot.
