While doing this background preparation be sure to make notes and jot down ideas that occur to you during your reading. Make note of various terms or phrases that define your topic; these will be useful search terms later when looking for books and articles.
. DEVELOPING THE TOPIC
while doing background reading on your topic you should have been thinking about and developing ideas you wish to explore in your paper. These ideas are key to determining the focus of your topic and to developing your thesis. Think of a list of questions you want to consider in your paper. Ask yourself:
What do I want to say?
What are the important points to develop?
Is there an aspect of the topic that I find interesting or puzzling?
Finding out more about the subject will help you create the thesis of your paper. Asking yourself the
standard journalistic questions is a useful method for arriving at a thesis: Why, Who, What, Where,
When, How.
A thesis statement is a proposition that tells the reader what your paper will discuss. Later, as you begin to research and then write your paper you may revise your thesis. In some disciplines the thesis statement is not developed until after the research has been done. This allows the researcher to be open to information that will support or disprove a thesis. Your professor should advise you on the preferred method of developing your paper.
