I need help writing an outline for what I have written here.
I would like to do my assignment of Microbes, more to the point on how microbes help us. When most people think of microbes they think for bad bacteria or the ugly side of what microbes does. I have been researching what microbes do for us. I even came across an article from Science Daily. About how microbes helped to consume the oil from the oil spill in the Gulf, more than a year ago. Microbes help by recycling our wastes and helping the land to have the nutrients we need to grow food that is needed. In us, bacteria destroy bad bacteria. They help to provide food for us: wine, bread, yogurt and cheese to name a few. Microbes help to breakdown our waste. Microbes are even used to help purify our water. We use microbes to create certain drugs: like Vitamin C, insulin, and even antibiotics. With this subject you can go in many different directions. There is even the possibility of writing on how antibiotics are destroying and changing the makeup of microbes, which cause different strains. How microbes are becoming resistant to antibiotics. Because of this, some diseases can no longer be treated with antibiotics.
Writing an outline AFTER writing the paragraph?? Hmmm!

If you have trouble writing the outline, then perhaps you need to start over -- write the outline FIRST and THEN revise/rewrite the paper.
To create an outline for your assignment on how microbes help us, consider organizing your ideas into sections or paragraphs. Here's a suggested outline:
I. Introduction
A. Overview of the misconception about microbes
B. Thesis statement: Exploring the positive contributions of microbes to our lives
II. Environmental benefits
A. Microbes' role in oil spill clean-up (cite Science Daily article)
B. Microbes' role in recycling waste and nutrient cycling for agriculture
III. Health benefits
A. How bacteria in our bodies help to destroy bad bacteria
B. Microbes' role in food production (e.g., wine, bread, yogurt, cheese)
C. Microbes' role in waste breakdown and water purification
IV. Medical and pharmaceutical applications
A. Microbes' involvement in drug production (e.g., Vitamin C, insulin, antibiotics)
B. Discuss the potential impact of antibiotic use on microbial strains and resistance
C. Highlight the consequences of antibiotic resistance on disease treatment
V. Conclusion
A. Recap major points on how microbes benefit us
B. Consider implications and future directions of microbial research and utilization
Remember, this is just a suggested outline and you can rearrange or modify it based on the specific emphasis and content you want to include. The outline will guide you in structuring your essay and ensure a logical flow of information. As you write the actual essay, provide supporting evidence and examples for each point to substantiate your claims.
