Your research paper should be designed to persuade your reader for or against a particular proposition -- fact, value, or policy. You should develop 3-5 main points making at least one of the points memorable -- a finding or claim that causes your reader to pause and reflect.

Offer an opening (hook) and preview what will be discussed in the paper (thesisi statement). This will be your first paragraph.

This portion is the bulk of your paper and includes main points, supporting details, and citations. It should also include supporting evidence as well as the discussion of your research.

Review your findings, tie up loose ends, refer back to the introduction, and come to a final conclusion.

Your bibliography should include works actually cited in the paper, rather than sources you merely collected. You must use these sources to support your ideas -- acknowledge all sources used -- avoid plagiarism.
