Lets
review the process. (Note to teacher: Click through each of the steps and
read them to the class.)
Remember,
the more we practice this process the easier it will be to focus on the
important parts of the documents. It will help make your essays meaningful,
effective, and enjoyable to read. This process can also be used for
developing effective term papers. The major difference is with term papers is
that someone will present you with a topic, rather than you coming up with a
topic or thesis on your own and then going to look for documents to support
it. Think of each reference for a term paper as a document that can be
analyzed using the same methods we discussed in this presentation. Organizing
the sources for your term paper in a chart can make it easier to separate the
information you have gathered from your research into its component parts:
thesis, body of factual information, and conclusion.
