Week 5 Assignment  

Research Paper Outline or Mind-map

Drawing on your previous week’s work and Instructor feedback, it’s time to organize your thoughts around the final paper before writing the first draft. There are several strategies for organizing ideas, you will choose between creating an outline or creating a mind-map. Use the following examples as a guide:

Sample Outline

Sample Mind-map (please note mind maps can be created in Word and PowerPoint or by using free mind-map tools)

A thesis statement is part of most academic writings. This is a sentence that sums up the writer's central response to the research question. It directly states or "tells" what the body of the paper will "show" through evidence, examples, and explanation. A thesis statement is usually located at the end of the introduction and links to the paper's title and conclusion. An example thesis statement is: A review of several articles indicates collaborative group work can socially motivate students who make excuses for inappropriate social behavior.

As you develop your outline or mind-map, include a working thesis statement. Keep in mind that revising the thesis statement after you've completed a rough draft of your paper is recommended. As we write about a topic we often gain a clearer understanding of it and of our ideas around it. Your thesis revision in later drafts of your paper should reflect that deeper thought process.

Submit an outline or mind-map for your topic and research question. Your submission should include enough detail to make your thoughts on the organization of this paper explicit. Refer to the Research Paper Outline or Mind-map Rubric in the syllabus or under the assignment in My Grades for submission guidelines. Your Instructor will provide feedback and considerations for you to incorporate into your research paper submission in week 7.

Please note, if you are requested by your Instructor to redo your outline or mind-map, there will be a link to resubmit in week 6.
