READY? You have gathered together the tools necessary to complete your research project. You have read, highlighted, sorted and sifted the information. You have learned some new information about your topic, and maybe found confirmation (or not!) about what you thought to be true. Now you are ready to bring together all of the pieces, and to start building that picture.
TIME MANAGEMENT : A day or more.
Develop your thesis statement, and outline the organization of your information. The Writing Center staff will help to create a logical flow of information.
"When students write essays, they must be concerned with both WHAT they are going to include and HOW they are going to present the information. Doing both at the same time is a challenge. Preparing an outline ahead of time means that the writer can concentrate on how to present his information clearly. The content and the organization of the information (the WHAT of the essay) has already been established in the outline. The writer can then concentrate on HOW to say it in the clearest possible way" (quoted from MCC Writing Center "Outlining").
