  • Creating a thesis statement
    • Needs to be a clear statement of what your paper is about
    • If you need to use it to organize your thoughts, you can write: My paper is about.......---but then get rid of the "My paper is about" part, LOL. For a sophisticated academic paper you need to state your thesis clearly with no preamble.
    • Needs to be: direct; limited in scoope; arguable (you MUST take a stance on your topic); supportable (STRONG research and evidence to back up your points)
    • Every point now needs to relate directly to your thesis statement (note, your thesis statement is NOT a question anymore!!!)
  • Where to place the thesis statement in your introduction
  • Outlining your papers:
    • INTRODUCTION
      • Hook (can be a rhetorical question, personal experience or story, fact or stat, quote, etc. Something to draw the reader in and set the tone)
      • Background
      • Thesis statement
    • BODY
      • Key points (all relating to thesis statement)
      • Backed up with strong research CLEARLY CITED
      • Use as many points as you need to discuss your topic clearly (not the 3 paragraph model from high school)
    • CONCLUSION
      • Sum up key points with some analysis or thought on total topic
      • Leave the reader with something to think about/do: call to action, future predictions, recommendation, personal note that makes the reader think.
