At this point, most instructors will not allow the writer to change the topic. This is when the writer will extend the ideas established in the outline. Placing outline ideas in paragraphs may seem like an awkward thing to do, but this will give the writer a chance to see if the chosen topic is a winner or a flop. If it's a winner, the sentences and paragraphs should flow smoothly and be easy for the reader to follow. If it's a flop, well, God bless him
