Research Question and Thesis Worksheet

1. Share the topic you selected and the associated research question.

2. Read an article related to your topic and research question and summarize it in 3 to 4 sentences. Include the citation in APA style. You may use the citation tools from the library or the Reference and Citation Generator from the Center for Writing Excellence. Note: Always double check that citations are in the current APA style.

3. Consider your topic. What is your position? How will this affect your approach in writing the essay?

4. Next, focus your work by creating a thesis statement. A thesis statement expresses the position taken in the argument and provides the reasoning for that position. It is the answer to your research question. It is okay if your thesis changes over time; the research may inspire a new direction later.
