As you gather sources, you should begin to formulate your own answer to the question you began with, using the evidence to back up your argument.
Your answer should be a bold statement of your argument, contained in one sentence. This is your thesis, which you will defend in the body of the paper.
You should follow your thesis statement with a “road map” of key points that support this, giving a preview of what your body paragraphs will cover.
Body paragraphs should be related to supporting your thesis, and should include evidence in support of your thesis. You should be as direct and specific as possible in your body paragraphs and avoid vagueness or generalities. If you use quotes, you should always follow with analysis in your own words to demonstrate your own critical thinking in linking the evidence to your thesis. Body paragraphs should also be related to one another via good transition sentences. Avoid tangents not immediately related to your thesis. If you found secondary sources that oppose the argument your thesis is making, you should devote one body paragraph to addressing these opposing viewpoints.
Your paper should finish with a strong conclusion supporting your thesis and key points.
