10) What is the question you're asking search engines and book to gain information needed for your essay? What is the essential question that you're using for your research?
2) The context is going to be the background of your event or person that you are researching. What effect will the reader experience when reading your essay? Do you know how people often say "They say that [insert superstition]", who is "they" in this situation relating to your essay. Who are the people you have cited sources of evidence from? If you're doing an argumentative essay, who and/or what are the sides of the debate?
3) What are you claiming in your essay? What is the main point/idea?
4) What types of research have you been doing or will do? Will you gain knowledge about your topic or debate from book, poem, magazine, or website? I recommend you look up types of research because I'm not so sure about this one.
5) What is your supporting evidence to support your thesis/claim?? What is the reasoning behind your claim?
6) Who or what is the opposing side, who disagrees with you and what is their claim? Why do they disagree?
Let me know if this helps! :)
