  2. TASK • Task 1: Requirements • Task 2: Topic • Task 3: Working thesis statement • Task 4: Research • Task 5: Outline • Task 6: Body • Task 7: Final thesis statement • Task 8: Introduction and conclusion • Task 9: Bibliography

  3. Task 1: Requirements • When is the paper due? Will you be expected to hand in preliminary work, such as your thesis statement or your outline? If so, when are they due? • Is there a requirement for length? • Which types of sources are you allowed to use in your research (library, Internet, personal interviews)? Are any required?

  4. Task 2: Topic • Selecting a topic is one of your most important tasks. • Your topic needs to be narrow enough to cover in a paper, but not so specific that you can’t find research sources. • And most important—you have to be interested in it, or you won’t be motivated to work on your paper.

  5. Task 3: Working thesis statement • Every research paper begins with a main point—a working thesis statement. Your job is to come up with a main point, then use the facts you turn up in your research to argue for or against it.

  6. A good thesis statement is: • Interesting to you and your audience. • An opinion about your topic. If your thesis statement is a fact instead of an opinion, there will be nothing to argue. • A complete sentence that summarizes your point.

  7. Task 4: Research • Begin your research by tracking down information about your topic. Look for library books, periodicals, Web sites, and any other good sources of information. • Read, Read, Read

  8. As you read, note any information you find • As you read, note any information you find that supports your thesis. These are the facts you’ll use to make your argument later. Every time you take a note, cite the reference :

  9. jot down exactly where you found the information • that is, jot down exactly where you found the information, including the title of the source, its author and publisher, the publication date and location, the type of source it is (book, newspaper article, Web page), and a page number if appropriate.

  10. What information on each source that you’ll need for your bibliography. • For example, does your teacher require you to list your source’s publisher and where it was published? Knowing exactly what you need now will save you the hassle of having to go back to look up additional information later.

  11. Task 5: Outline • A carefully organized outline will make writing your paper much easier, so plan to spend some quality time on it.

  12. Task 6: Body • With your outline as a guide, turn each of your major themes into sections or paragraphs, using your sub-themes and the facts from your notes to fill in the details. • Go back and connect your paragraph themes into a cohesive narrative. Be sure to use strong transitions between paragraphs. • Your goal is to make clear to the reader why you presented the information in the order that you did.

  13. Task 7: Final thesis statement • Read your paper and ask yourself the all-important question: Do I make my point? • Refine your thesis statement if the facts you’ve dug up don’t support it.

  14. Task 8: Introduction and conclusion • Write the introduction. Think of your introduction as the opening statement in one to three paragraphs.

  15. Write the conclusion • Think of your conclusion as the attorney’s closing statement. In one to three paragraphs. • Summarize the point you made—your thesis statement—and the major themes you used to support it. • You want the reader to walk away convinced.

  16. Task 9: Bibliography • A bibliography is a list of the sources you used in your research. It is usually included as a separate page or pages at the end of your assignment and titled “Bibliography,” “References,”

  17. Bibliography • Book • Author Last Name, Author First Name. Book Title. Publication Location: Publisher, Publication Year. • Encyclopedia article • "Article Title," Encyclopedia Name.
