Use your topic sentence as the main idea of your outline and use the details from the supporting sentences.
What is a sentence outline?
B. Time-Consuming
No, a supporting sentence supports the topic sentence.
For book reports (as for most other kinds of writing), a sentence-outline has several disadvantages relative to a topic-outline. For one thing, a sentence-outline is more lengthy and thus more cumbersome to serve as a helpful outline for the actual writing. For another thing, a truly helpful sentence-outline itself will rely on a clear understanding of "topics" before the actual sentences of such an outline can be meaningfully organized.
One disadvantage to using sentences to outline instead of topics is the fact that you will have too much information. With topics, you can easily scan the outline to get the information you need.
A disadvantage of using a sentence outline instead of a topic outline is that a sentence outline typically contains more detailed information, which may make it more time-consuming to create and more difficult to modify. This level of detail can also limit flexibility in rearranging or adjusting the outline structure.

A disadvantage of using a sentence outline over a topic outline is that it can be more time-consuming to create due to the need to formulate complete sentences for each point. Additionally, a sentence outline may limit flexibility as it may be more difficult to rearrange or modify the outline compared to a topic outline.
