Add an introduction and a conclusion to the outline: this is important because you need to write a context for the thesis, explain why it is interest to read, encourage the reader to keep on with the reading. The conclusion summarizes your point of view, new ideas that the essay lead to.

Review the outline and make changes if necessary: Finally, but not the least important, you must check your essay to see if it makes sense, if it is something that should be corrected, etc.
