Thesis Statement, Outline

Now that you have decided on a topic for a research paper and found several sources, we will review the proper format for the Work Cited cards, which will become your Work Cited page. If you have not done so, print out the MLA Cheatsheet from the Citing Sources section of the HHS Library page (click on Senior Project or Research Process button on the main page). The next step is to write your thesis statement. Please bring the Bedford Reader on Monday, so we can review thesis statements. After that, you will write an outline and begin taking notes from your sources on index cards. We will be doing this in the library on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
