writing a thesis term paper <\/b><\/p>\n
Organization<\/b><\/p>\n
Sample Outline<\/b><\/p>\n
I. Introduction
___A. Introduce the topic
___B. Provide background on the topic to explain why it is important
___C. Assert the thesis (your view of the issue). More on thesis statements can be found below.<\/p>\n
Your introduction has a dual purpose: to indicate both the topic and your approach to it (your thesis statement), and to arouse your reader\u2019s interest in what you have to say. One effective way of introducing a topic is to place it in context \u2013 to supply a kind of backdrop that will put it in perspective. You should discuss the area into which your topic fits, and then gradually lead into your specific field of discussion (re: your thesis statement).<\/p>\n
II. Your Argument
___A. Assert point #1 of your claims
_____1. Give your educated and informed opinion
_____2. Provide support\/proof using more than one source (preferably three)
___B. Assert point #2 of your claims
_____1. Give your educated and informed opinion
_____2. Provide support\/proof using more than one source (preferably three)
___C. Assert point #3 of your claims
_____1. Give your educated and informed opinion
_____2. Provide support\/proof using more than one source (preferably three)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You may have more than 3 overall points to your argument, but you should not have fewer.<\/b><\/p>\n
III. Counter Argument
___A. Summarize the counterclaims
___B. Provide supporting information for counterclaims
<\/p>\n
You can generate counterarguments by asking yourself what someone who disagrees with you might say about each of the points you’ve made or about your position as a whole. Once you have thought up some counterarguments, consider how you will respond to them–will you concede that your opponent has a point but explain why your audience should nonetheless accept your argument? Will you reject the counterargument and explain why it is mistaken? Either way, you will want to leave your reader with a sense that your argument is stronger than opposing arguments.<\/p>\n
When you are summarizing opposing arguments, be charitable. Present each argument fairly and objectively, rather than trying to make it look foolish. You want to show that you have seriously considered the many sides of the issue, and that you are not simply attacking or mocking your opponents.<\/p>\n
It is usually better to consider one or two serious counterarguments in some depth, rather than to give a long but superficial list of many different counterarguments and replies.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
IV. Re-Assert and Re-Affirm Your Argument<\/p>\n
___A. Refute the counterclaims
___B. Give evidence for argument<\/p>\n
Be sure that your reply is consistent with your original argument. If considering a counterargument changes your position, you will need to go back and revise your original argument accordingly.<\/p>\n
V. Conclusion
___A. Restate your argument
___B. Provide a plan of action but do not introduce new information<\/p>\n
The simplest and most basic conclusion is one that restates the thesis <\/span>in different words<\/i> <\/span>and then discusses its implications.<\/p>\n At least 6 reference sources!<\/b><\/p>\n Resourced accurately with citations and references \u2013 APA style<\/b><\/p>\n Grammatically Correct, Spell Checked<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" writing a thesis term paper Organization Sample Outline I.
