1. What is the topic?

Defining a Topic. When selecting a topic for a paper, the writer should consider the assignment or purpose. The writer must also be knowledgeable about the topic or be in a position to perform any necessary research. The subject should be specific and be of interest to the author.

Find the topic of the paragraph. With the topic sentence. The topic is simply the who or what being discussed in the paragraph, while the topic sentence includes the topic and the point being made about it. Knowing the topic will point you towards the topic sentence. Circle the words used most often in the paragraph.

Example:

Topic Sentence:

There are many reasons why pollution in Lofty Town is the worst in the world. The topic is "pollution in Lofty Town is the worst in the world" and the controlling idea is "many reasons."

Media and Communications Research Paper Topics:

  • Body image.
  • Censorship.
  • Children's programming and advertising.
  • Copyright Law.
  • Freedom of speech.
  • Materialism.
  • Media bias.
  • Media conglomerates, ownership.

2. What is the possible conclusion that the student reached based on the evidence?

The gathering of evidence. An inference is an idea or conclusion that's drawn from evidence and reasoning. An inference is an educated guess. We learn about some things by experiencing them first-hand, but we gain other knowledge by inference — the process of inferring things based on what is already known.

Example:

(Something along the lines of, take your pick!)

Body Image: In most recent years, lot's of teens have been suffering from low self esteem. This causes them to make them selves throw up and eat less to lose body fat. Even natural body fat! This may cause severe eating disorders. This is very unhealthy in general, but for growing kids it's even more dangerous.

When you are writing you will include facts and stats about this topic, which shall be reminisced in the conclusion.

Key things to use:

  • Eating Disorders.
  • Vomiting
  • Self Esteem.
  • Add information on each one and how they correlate

This is just for the examples!

3. After examining the topic and the evidence on the graphic organizer, create a purpose statement for this research project.

A thesis statement or purpose statement will emerge as you think and write about a topic. The statement can be restricted or clarified and eventually worked into an introduction.

Examples:

Look in the PDF

4. Using the purpose statement that you created, draft a thesis statement based on the information provided to you in the graphic organizer.

These are the five steps in the writing process:

  • Prewriting
  • Outlining the structure of ideas
  • Writing a rough draft
  • Revising
  • Editing

PREWRITING

Prewriting is the stage of the writing process during which you transfer your abstract thoughts into more concrete ideas in ink on paper (or in type on a computer screen). Although prewriting techniques can be helpful in all stages of the writing process, the following four strategies are best used when initially deciding on a topic:

  • Using experience and observations
  • Reading
  • Free writing
  • Asking questions

At this stage in the writing process, it is okay if you choose a general topic!!!

CHOOSING A TOPIC

In addition to understanding that writing is a process, writers also understand that choosing a good general topic for an assignment is an essential step!

Here is an outline!

My purpose: ____________________________________________

My audience: ____________________________________________

USING EXPERIENCE AND OBSERVATIONS

When selecting a topic, you may want to consider something that interests you or something based on your own life and personal experiences. Even everyday observations can lead to interesting topics.

READING

Reading plays a vital role in all the stages of the writing process, but it first figures in the development of ideas and topics. Different kinds of documents can help you choose a topic and also develop that topic.

FREEWRITING

Freewriting is an exercise in which you write freely about any topic for a set amount of time (usually three to five minutes). During the time limit, you may jot down any thoughts that come to mind. Try not to worry about grammar, spelling, or punctuation. Instead, write as quickly as you can without stopping. If you get stuck, just copy the same word or phrase over and over until you come up with a new thought.

In "The Light of Gandhi's Lamp," Hilary Kromberg Inglis describes her experiences as an anti-apartheid activist:
madreJ [45]
This passage suggests that Inglis believes the events were unfair. 

Using the word "peaceful" shows that she believes that was she did was fine because they were not hurting anyone, and that she did not believe she should have been arrested. Also, putting "illegal gathering" in quotations shows that she doesn't actually believe that what she was doing was illegal.
