1. PREWRITING
Begin by writing an outline.
Use different sources, books, professional journals, encyclopedias, or interviews. Make sure the internet sources you use are reliable.
Make as many questions as you can about the topic you chose, use these words to formulate questions: who, where, why, when, where, and how.
After you have researched the topic answer the questions.
Use index cards to organize your research. On the back of the card cite the source, use one card for each source, this will make it easier when you are writing the bibliography.
Write the Roman numeral I and the word “Introduction” Add the details that will support the main idea.
As you´ve seen in previous grades the outline is only to help you write your final essay, you do not have to write every paragraph in detail, just the main idea. You can add to it later on.
Example of an Outline

Example: It is amazing to think...
II. Main idea
a) Detail #1 b) Detail #2 c) Detail # 3
III. Main idea #2
Write as many main ideas and detail paragraphs as you can to support your idea.
