Tips and Hints on writing a research paper!
Remeber writing a research
paper is easy. A research paper is an important part of academics. Most students
will be assigned at least one research paper in high school and many research
papers in college, regardless of their major. The first
step is to form a question that relates to the main idea of each body paragraph.
After this you must answer the question and give supporting statements that
validate your answer. In your answer you have to include the Author of the piece
of work you using for your research explaining a little bit about him and his
writing. When writing a research paper you must write a working thesis statement based on the goal of the research
paper. A thesis statement summarizes the overall point of a paper by
making a claim and then listing points that will be used as evidence to support
it. At this point in the process, you should only write a working thesis
statement because it may change during the course of your research.
You will need to:
1) Identify a topic
2) Familiarize yourself
with your topic
3) Form a research question about your topic
4) Locate appropriate resources that relate to your question
5) Read and
analyze your sources
6) Use what you’ve learned to find new sources
7) Read and analyze the new sources
8) Formulate an opinion that
takes into account what you’ve learned from your analysis of your sources
9) Write a thesis
Don't forget!
