Module #8 Assignment - page 1

IMPORTANT STEP -- Complete the following by Saturday evening:

Research Step #6 – Two tiered outline—main points and sub points—of your research paper’s Main Question. Refer to Module #8 Notes and Slideshow 8A for the format of this outline and what it should contain:

· Put the Main Research Question at the top of the page.

· Section questions as main points – first tier of the outline

· Body paragraphs as sub points – second tier of the outline

Post this work in your group blog under “Research Step #6 – Paper Outline”

RECOMMENDATION: Do the work in a WORD file. I have given you an outline template below that you can use for your work.

HINT: Copy and paste the completed outline into your blog using your key board –

Select the table—CONTROL A, then - copy CONTROL C; paste CONTROL V

NOTE: At this point you might be guessing what this outline looks like. You should know what your main research question and section questions are. BUT you may need to guess the themes of each of your body paragraphs. This outline is a wish list of what each section should contain – even if you do not have all of the information yet. The outline will identify what areas you need to continue to find material.

All outlines are different and the template below is just a suggestion. One section may contain four BPs and another, 6 BPs. It depends on what you need to answer the section question. Use the template below to write your outline. See next page

Main Research Question >>> First Sub Question – Section Question First Body paragraph theme will be >>> Second Body paragraph theme >>> Third Body Paragraph theme >>> Fourth Body Paragraph Theme >>> Second Sub Question – Section Question First Body paragraph theme Second Body paragraph theme Third Body Paragraph theme Third Sub Question – Section Question First Body paragraph theme Second Body paragraph theme Third Body Paragraph theme Fourth Body Paragraph theme

NOTES:

· You can write out each body paragraph theme as a topic sentence or a focused question. This will get you started on actually writing the paper.

· There are different numbers of body paragraphs in each section; this is just a template and cannot determine how many BPs you will use in each section of your paper. Use what you need from this template. There should be at least three body paragraphs per section.

· Feel free to use this table as a template for your outline. But paste only the outline into your Blog Space
