ESSAY
55. ANS:
1. Select a topic. Spend time brainstorming ideas for a topic. Choose one you find interesting. For shorter
papers, narrow the scope of the topic; for longer papers, broaden the scope. Identify a tentative thesis
statement, which is a sentence describing the paper’s subject matter.
2. Research the topic and take notes. Gather credible, relevant information about the topic that supports
the thesis statement. Sources of research include books, magazines, newspapers, and the Internet. As you
record facts and ideas, list details about the source: title, author, place of publication, publisher, date of
publication, etc. When taking notes, be careful not to plagiarize. That is, do not use someone else’s work
and claim it to be your own. If you copy information directly, place it in quotation marks and identify its
source.
3. Organize your ideas. Classify your notes into related concepts. Make an outline from the categories of
notes. In the outline, identify all main ideas and supporting details.
4. Write the first draft, referencing sources. From the outline, compose the paper. Every research paper
should include an introduction containing the thesis statement, supporting details, and a conclusion.
Follow the guidelines identified in the required documentation style. Reference all sources of information.
5. Create the list of sources. Using the formats specified in the required documentation style, completely
list all sources referenced in the body of the research paper in alphabetical order.
6. Proofread and revise the paper. If possible, proofread the paper with a fresh set of eyes, that is, at least
one to two days after completing the first draft. Proofreading involves reading the paper with the intent of
identifying errors (spelling, grammar, etc.) and looking for ways to improve the paper (wording,
transitions, flow, etc.). Try reading the paper out loud, which helps to identify unclear or awkward
wording. Ask someone else to proofread the paper and give you suggestions for improvements.
