Researching an essay

6 easy to follow steps:

  1. Go to the Internet or library and look up books and articles about your subject
  2. Begin reading your research material
  3. Once you find something you feel would be good for your essay, write down:
    • Bibliographical information & page #
    • The words exactly as they are in the book (this avoids plagiarism)
  4. Begin writing down your thesis and main arguments
  5. Research more if arguments are incomplete
  6. Organize your points logically and begin writing
