- Subtopics and sub-questions you will develop within your research paper (refer to prompt for further
instruction on sub-topics/sub-questions).
â¢Provide evidence to support your thesis in a logical, developed manner.
â¢Sub-topics are simply more specific discussions that help support your thesis claim. Sub-questions are those
topics in question form if you so choose.
â¢For your thesis, consider multiple sub-topics addressing even more specific issues, such as:
â¢How will this research help to understand my textâs historical/social/emotional point?
â¢What is the major impact of my text? How does it affect its reader/viewer/listener?
â¢What is the benefit of assessing my chosen text?
â¢Synthesize the information gained from sources to understand them and explain them to the reader.
â¢Only including quotes/examples shows youâre relying on the sources to speak for you. - Some academic information/facts/quotes (from your primary or secondary sources) you have researched so
far that apply to your topic. - What you hope to achieve from doing research on your chosen text (besides a good grade).
