By this point in the research process you should have a working thesis and a clear sense of what you want to prove in your paper. Today you are going to work on organizing your research to determine the ways in which your information will help you prove your thesis. Here is where your notecards are going to come into play.
There are two ways to think about using your notecards:
1) Look at your working thesis and then the body sections that come out of that thesis. Then determine which cards apply to which elements of your thesis.
or
2) Spread out all of your cards and see which cards connect. Begin to group them together in categories and then see how those categories apply to your thesis.
You must complete one of the above tasks before moving into your outline.
Once you have your notecards reorganized, then you can begin to insert your information into the outline. Your completed outline is due to be submitted to turnitin.com anytime before 8:00 AM on Tuesday morning, 2/17.
