There is a little print button on the left hand corner of the NOTECARD page. Double click. Open it in Export as Web page (HTML file) and print. Keep hitting submit until the page comes up. Go to FILE and PRINT. Sort through your notecards and decide what your main points will be. Look at the information on your notecards to see where and how that information would fit into your main points. Remember, you are creating your main points based on the information you found to support your thesis. For example: My topic is body image. My thesis statement is: The media helps promote a negative body for young girls. I have a notecard about anorexia and the media. I also have a note card about bulimia and the media. One of my main points will be eating disorders caused by the media. After you have decided what your main points will be, it is time to cut and paste the information from your notecards into your outline. You should cut and paste ONLY DIRECT QUOTES with source citation. NOTE: Directly Quoted material is the information you pulled “directly” from the source. This information does not belong to you and must be citied in your paper. *Do not include your paraphrased information. You will use your paraphrased information when you write your actual paper. Don’t forget to include the background information on your topic and the information you found to support the counter argument. The only parts of the outline that are your original thoughts are the ATTENTION GETTER AND CONCLUSION.

9. How to write your outline

10. How will your break down you the paper? After gathering all your research and creating notecards, now it is time to organize. Background: Background information on the topic: Main Points: Specific and concrete details from the articles ****There may be more than 3 main point paragraphs: Counterargument: Opposing views (address the counterargument and explain why it is invalid.)

11. Main Points You need a few strong main points to support your thesis. First, look at the TITLES of your notecards. Can you group any of them together in the same category? For example: My topic is body image. My thesis is, the media helps promote a negative body for young girls. I have a notecard about anorexia and the media. I also have a note card about bulimia and the media. One of my main points might be eating disorders caused by the media.

12. Mrs. Ciaffone’s Website The Outline Template and other research materials are located on my website. Please utilize these resources. Click on 11R Outline 2014 on my website. You will download it and save it under your name on the computer or save it to a flash drive. Let’s take a look at the template together.

13. OUTLINE Paragraph #1 Introduction Attention getter: Thesis: Paragraph #2: Background: Background information on the topic: Paragraph #3 Main Point I: Details: A: Details: B: Details: C: Paragraph #4 Main Point II: Details: A: Details: B: Details: C: Paragraph #5 Main Point III: Details: A: Details: B: Details: C: ****There may be more than 3 main point paragraphs: Paragraph #6 Counterargument: Opposing views (address the counterargument and explain why it is invalid.) Paragraph #7Conclusion: Restate thesis: The conclusion---brings the essay to a satisfying close. Rather than simply repeating what has gone before, the conclusion brings all the writer’s ideas together and answers the question, so what? Add a clincher (the last thought on your topic that you want your audience to think about.)

14. How to write your research paper The Classical Model

15. Introduction The introduction introduces the reader to the subject under discussion. Whether it is a single paragraph or several, the introduction draws the readers into the text by piquing their interest, challenging them, or otherwise getting their attention. Often the introduction is where the writer establishes ethos. 1 paragraph

16. Background The narration provides factual information and background material on the subject at hand, thus beginning the developmental paragraphs, or establishes why the subject is a problem that needs addressing. The level of detail a writer uses in this section depends largely on the audience’s knowledge of the subject. 1 paragraph

17. Main Points The confirmation, usually the major part of the text, includes the development of proof needed to make the writer’s case --- the nuts and bolts of the essay, containing the most specific and concrete detail in the text. 3-5 paragraphs (main points) **There may be more than 3 main point paragraphs:

18. Counterargument The refutation, which addresses the counterargument, is in many ways a bridge between the writer’s proof and the conclusion. If opposing views are well known or valued by the audience, a writer will address them before presenting his or her argument. The counterargument’s appeal is largely to logos. 1 paragraph (address the counterargument and explain why it is invalid.)

19. Conclusion The conclusion---whether it is one paragraph or several----brings the essay to a satisfying close. Rather than simply repeating what has gone before, the conclusion brings all the writer’s ideas together and answers the question, so what? Writers should remember the classical rhetoricians’ advice that the last words and ideas of a text are those the audience is most likely to remember. 1 paragraph-conclusion

20. Body Paragraphs: What is included? (each body paragraph must contain at least 4 quotes/paraphrased material to support the main point) All quotes/paraphrased material MUST be cited properly. 1. Topic sentence (the main point of the paragraph). This sentence should help with the development of the thesis statement. This is the sentence you created for each main point. 2. Intro phrase: A phrase that introduces the quote/paraphrased material. 3. A quote/paraphrased material (Quotations/paraphrased material must be carefully integrated so that the text is logical and coherent.) 4. Explanation & transition sentences (3-5 sentences)-these sentences discuss the above quote/paraphrased material. The strength of any argument largely hinges on the writer's ability to make clear connections between his or her assessments, assertions, and research. This means that every sentence needs to rely on the previous sentence and contribute to the next. You must use transitions between quotations. YOU MUST AVOID PLACING QUOTATIONS BACK TO BACK.) 5. Repeat steps 2-4 6. Repeat steps 2-4 7. Repeat steps 2-4 (repeat steps 2-4 many times as necessary depending on the amount of details you have for each main point) 8. A concluding sentence: This sentence wraps up the paragraph.

21. Explanation & Transition Sentences (3-5 sentences)-these sentences discuss the above quote/paraphrased material. The strength of any argument largely hinges on the writer's ability to make clear connections between his or her assessments, assertions, and research. This means that every sentence needs to rely on the previous sentence and contribute to the next. You must use transitions between quotations. YOU MUST AVOID PLACING QUOTATIONS BACK TO BACK.)
