  1. Introduction, Body, and conclusion: The basic structure of a research paper Ms. Calabrese

  2. Introduction

  3. Introduction

  4. Introduction • Hook • Capture the readers attention • Set the scene • Different types of Hooks • Use a quote • Ask a question • Use a shocking fact • Use a statistic • Use an anecdote

  5. Hook: Quote • Dr. Seuss once said, “sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.” Hooks

  6. Hook: Question • Have you ever considered how humans impact the extinction of animals? Hook

  7. Hook: Shocking Fact • In the United States, the main cause of water pollution is not chemical waste but the excrement of farm animals. Hook

  8. Hook: statistic • By 2050, rising temperatures could make more than 1 million of Earth’s land-dwelling plants and animals extinct. Hook

  9. Hook: Anecdote • As the boy’s torso launched over the steal handle bars, panic and fear consumed the boy’s thoughts. Max knew he was in trouble, for he had left his helmet on the shelf in the garage. Hook

  10. Hook Take a minute and create a hook for the statement provided below. • Students should be able to text in school.

  11. Thesis/ focus statement • States the central question or problem raised in the paper. • Forms both your topic and your point of view. • Like trying on a pair of jeans; may be revised MULTIPLE times before you make the right fit.

  12. Sub-topics • In recent years, statistics have indicated that physical exercise in school has decreased. Whether people like it or not, physical exercise plays a major role in child development, and thus should be encouraged. Physical exercise is essential because it improves a person’s mood, helps combat chronic disease, and helps manage weight.

  13. Transition • Like many other life activities, exercise may leave one feeling happier and more relaxed creating a stronger and more positive sense of self.

  14. Body • Start with a topic sentence that addresses the first sub-topic that was stated in the thesis. • Provide evidence such as quotes and references to the sources. • Make sure all information is relevant and revolves around the theme of the paragraph.

  15. Body • Many experts of today claim that physical activity improves mood. In the USA Today article “Good mood can run a long time after workout,” Nancy Hellmich states “studies show that people are in a better mood for up to 12 hours after they workout” (Hellmich, 1). This finding offers a powerful insight into the potential benefits of increasing physical activities in school. If students are afforded the time to run, hop, skip and play, then it would logically follow that attitudes in the classroom would positively change.

  16. Conclusion
