After choosing your topic, gather materials and information, synthesize the material and formulate what you would like to say. Don’t just be a stenographer,
parroting the material you find, but develop and express your own ideas and opinions. As you read the researched material carefully, your own observations and
questions will arise. When drafting your paper, follow the format of first introducing your subject, including a brief statement of what you are going to tell
the reader. Then present the material that is relevant for your discussion and make your main points, supported by sources with citations. Discuss why your
topic and/or discussion is interesting or important, and finish with some concluding remarks. Be careful to avoid embarrassment through the cavalier use of
auto correction and spell checker tools. Use your best grammar.
