What makes a good research question, then the answer is your Thesis (website)
Purdue OWL:Thesis (website) |
-
The intention of this standard is for students to acknowledge connections between topics and sources. At this level, students are articulating viable research questions and topics based on initial research.
-
Viable research questions will include words like how and/or why.
-
To be viable, the question needs to be not so broad that it can be easily answered or that has too much information to explore.
-
The question should also be not so narrow that there are too few resources to choose from and not enough information to prove credibility.
-
A thesis statement is the guiding, arguable statement or claim an essay attempts to prove through evidence and reasoning.
-
Thesis statements should address all parts of the proposed question.
-
Students often struggle with the difference between “topic” or “subject” so it is important that the thesis is developed from a broad topic or subject.
-
Writing thesis statements requires practice to develop complex arguments that are clear and provable.
-
Information from source texts should be blended into writing in a way that does not interrupt the flow of writing.
|
Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
