I didn't find the outline to be that difficult of a task because I have actually outlined in the past before I've written papers. What I DID find difficult however, was taking information for many different primary sources and organizing them in an efficient way. In my first outline, I organized mostly by source which I later learned was not the best way to do it. Towards the end of my outline, I organized by idea but I found myself using one idea per source. Therefore, even if a certain source could contribute to two of my ideas, I still only used it for one for my own organizational purposes. I realized later that this was very selective and I began taking different ideas from the same source. This helped my outline a bunch because I had one idea and rather than one source to back it up, I ended up having two or three sources.
I'm still not that sure what I'm going to do for the final project. I haven't had time yet this weekend to actually research different topics, but I'm thinking about doing something with the Civilian Conservation Corps. I don't know what question I'm going to focus on yet regarding the CCC.
