Now that you have developed your topic, research question, and thesis, it is time to develop a framework for your entire paper. This outline will help guide the writing of your paper.
Directions:
Develop the outline for your research paper by considering the following:
- Organizing your ideas in an order that makes sense: what do you plan to present first, second, third and so on in your writing?
- Choose a method of organizing your writing, such as chronological order, spatial order, and order of importance.
- Be sure your ideas support your thesis statement.
- Choose whether you want to create a topic outline or a sentence outline.
After you develop your outline, use the following checklist to discover whether you need to do additional reading or prewriting:
- Do I have a controlling idea that guides the development of the entire piece of writing?
- Do I have three or more main points that I want to make in this piece of writing? Does each main point connect to my controlling idea?
- Is my outline in the best orderchronological order, spatial order, or order of importancefor me to present my main points? Will this order help me get my main point across?
- Do I have supporting details that will help me inform, explain, or prove my main points?
- Do I need to add more support? If so, where?
- Do I need to make any adjustments in my working thesis statement before I consider it the final version?
