The Research Question and the Paper Outline

Yesterday we worked on your research questions to make them as productive for your projects as possible.   We also discussed the importance of the outline as the structure that will hold your paper as well as the need to sort out the data you collected so far.

The outline starts from the research question. For Wednesday start to identify subtopics that you need to answer your research question and start to organize these subtopics. Bring your preliminary outline work to class.

Outlines can take many forms but for preliminary understanding check out these links: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/544/02/
