Essay about Frankenstein
Research Paper Timeline
The outline should be structured EXACTLY like this. Copy and paste this into a document and fill it in, starting with the thesis and body paragraph topic sentences. I want the research to be one of the last things that you do.:
Intro Paragraph:
1. Hook =
2. Summary/main overall ideas (3-4 sentences):
3. Thesis (this can be a “3 point” thesis, like we’ve done so far, or you can practice a “single point” thesis like I mentioned in one of the Week 9 lectures):
Body Paragraphs:
A. Body Paragraph 1
1. First sentence: Main idea/argument for 1st body paragraph (1st listed idea in your thesis if using a “3 point” thesis)
2. specific quote from the book to support idea
3. analysis of quote (why is this quote important? How does it prove my paragraph’s argument?)
4. specific quote from an article in the PCC databases
5. analysis of quote
B. Body Paragraph 2
1. First sentence: Main idea/argument for 2nd body paragraph (2nd listed idea in your thesis if using a “3 point” thesis)
2. specific quote from the book to support idea
3. analysis of quote (why is this quote important? How does it prove my paragraph’s argument?)
4. specific quote from an article in the PCC databases
5. analysis of quote
C. Body Paragraph 3
1. First sentence: Main idea/argument for 3rd body paragraph (3rd listed idea in your thesis if using a “3 point” thesis).
2. specific quote from the article to support idea
3. analysis of quote (why is this quote important? How does it prove my paragraph’s argument?)
4. specific quote from an article in the PCC databases
5. analysis of quote
Conclusion:
1. overview of thesis, topics discussed, identify importance
**You might have/need more than 3 body paragraphs; I would recommend 3-4 total body paragraphs, which means you would have: an intro, 3-4 body paragraphs, and a conclusion***
