STEP 1 HOW TO WRITE A TERM PAPER:
"CHOOSE A TOPIC"
Choosing a topic is probably the easiest part to writing term papers primarily because the general topic idea will be chosen for you. The idea will fall within the parameters of the subject matter of the class.

For example if you are in a mathematics class you wouldn't necessarily write about human evolution. Similarly, if you are in a geology class you most likely would not be preparing a research paper on media consolidation. The point being that what the topic it will more than likely depend on what you are studying in a particular class.

Once the specific topic is determined for writing the term paper, their maybe some rules stipulated by your syllabus or directly from your instructor as to what subtopics need to be discussed within the paper.

These stipulations by no means determines in what way the writer will present the information in the term paper nor does it confine the writer to a specific point of view. These rules only guide the writer as to what issues should be discussed within the resear paper based upon the topics we have discussed in class. This is an opportunity for the student to also demonstrate his or her comprehension of the class subject matter.

1. Select the topic of your Guests cannot see links in the messages. Please register to forum by clicking here to see links..
2. Choose the central idea, or thesis, of your essay writing. For example: Information technology has revolutionized the way we work.
3. Outline your essay into introductory, body and summary paragraphs.
4. The introductory paragraph begins with an interesting sentence. For example: Home workers have grown from 150,000 to over 12 million in the past 5 years thanks to the wonders of the computer.
5. After this first sentence, add your thesis statement from above.
6. Use one sentence to introduce every body paragraph to follow. For example: The Internet has made this possible by extending the office into the home.
7. Finish the introductory paragraph with a short summary or goal statement. For example: Technological innovation has thus made the traditional workplace obsolete.
8. In each of the body paragraphs (usually two or three) the ideas first presented in the introductory paragraph are developed.
9. Develop your body paragraphs by giving detailed information and examples. For example: When the Internet was first introduced it was used primarily by scientists, now it is common in every classroom.
10. Body paragraphs should develop the central idea and finish with a summary of that idea. There should be at least two examples or facts in each body paragraph to support the central idea.
11. The summary paragraph summarizes your essay and is often a reverse of the introductory paragrah.
12. Begin the summary paragrah by quickly restating the principal ideas of your body paragraphs. For example: The Internet in the home, benefits and ease of use of modern computer systems...
13. The penultimate sentence should restate your basic thesis of the essay. For example: We have now passed from the industrial revolution to the information revolution.
14. Your final statement can be a future prediction based on what you have shown in the essay. For example: The next step: The complete disappearance of the workplace.

Many young learners are required to write Guests cannot see links in the messages. Please register to forum by clicking here to see links.in English. While most of these students also write essays for other courses in their native language, they often feel hesitant when writing essays in English. This series of four lessons is designed to help students become familiar with writing an essay in English. The first lesson is designed to give students an overview of basic essay writing style. The final three lessons focus on developing skills that are used when analyzing texts as the basis of their essays.

Aim: Learning basic essay structure for young learners to use for text analysis

Activity: Overview of basic essay structure presentation with students working together to develop an essay outline

Level: Young Learners - upper intermediate

Outline:

* Choose a short story that your class is very familiar with, and about which they will surely have strong opinions.
* In a brainstorming session, ask students the following questions (you may want to have the students work on these questions in small groups and then review their answers as a class):
o Who are the main characters of the story?
o What are the main events of the story?
o What roles do the main characters play in the main events of the story?
o Is there a moral to the story? If yes, what do you think it is?
o What did you learn from the story?
* Make a list of the most commonly held opinions and answers relating to the story.
* Give students the short outline to writing an essay. Have them read through the outline and answer any questions they may have.
* Ask students to break up into small groups and, using the information from the brainstorming session, fill in the outline questionnaire.
* Circulate around the class helping the groups come up with appropriate answers to the outline.
* Make sure that each student has a copy of the work they produce as this outline will be used as the base of an essay in a future lesson.
