  1. Research Paper Moving from notes to writing your paper Learning Target: I can organize and plan my research paper.

  2. Now What? • I have an idea…. • I have taken my notes…. • Think about this – • What did I learn? • What is worth sharing from my research? • What is worth sharing about my book? • What do you want to say? • What is worth saying?

  3. As you think…. First step – revisit the sections of your paper (# 8) on your. Revisit your thesis and notes – how do they fit with your list?

  4. Rethink • Consider your thesis • Ask – what do I need to cover to explain and convince someone regarding this? • Revise the items in #8 – do you need all of them? Do you need more? What about order? • Perhaps organize your notes – what goes with what? • Do you have some things you don’t know where to put? Maybe you don’t need that information. • Be willing to give up something if it doesn’t fit. • Once you have a plan – it is time to move to the next step.

  5. Begin Writing – Two approaches • <Have your thesis out in front of you at all times • Start with what you think is your first section • Write it up • Keep track of your information you use • Include in-text citations • As you finish – look at next item in your list – does that work? If it does – move on to that. If it doesn’t – what does? Start writing that section. • >Have your thesis out in front of you all the time. • Start by outlining your sections • First section – what details, list content and point for what you want to include. Include citations. • Second section – what details, etc. • Outline your paper – seeing what information fits where, what doesn’t fit, if it all ties in to your thesis. • Begin writing after you have completed your outline.

  6. Write and Write You need to make progress – complete about 1 1/2 pages a day in order to be ready to by next week. You get the gift of time this week – Wed, Thurs, Fri. (Friday – I will be returning items for you to file – discussing some) You want to be able to complete a section and move on. Ideally, you would write your paper between now and Monday with time to revisit and revise yourself prior to peer revision on Wednesday. Must include in-text citations in your draft.

  7. Organize, Plan, Write Think about sources – will revisit later – but think about what you are using. Balance – keep in mind the need to pull on multiple sources for each section – to show you have adequately researched each aspect. Very easy to be distracted – keep focused.
