c. Lesson proper

Writing a research paper is an exercise in any academic endeavor. As a student,

you might ask to write a research paper on some occasions in specific areas of study.
Writing a research paper may be tedious, but the exercise is very fulfilling, most
especially when new ideas and practices are discovered.

In the hope to ease you of the rudiments of writing a research, below are a few
things that you can consider as you begin to write a research paper.

a. CHOOSING A TOPIC

There usually are two situations that influence you in choosing a

topic. One is when it is the teacher who assigns the topic, and the other
one is when it is you who choose the topic. Either way, the topic must
be relevant and must be of great interest to you.
It is always good to start selecting a topic by brainstorming. You
may do this with a classmate or a friend. However, nothing beats a keen
interest on the topic that you wish to write about.

b. PRE- WRITING

Purdue OWL (https://owl.english.purdue.edu) offers the following

suggestions before you do actual writing.

1. Ask yourself what your purpose is for writing about the topic.

There are many “correct” things to write about for any subject, but you
need to narrow your down your choices.
For example, your topic might be “computer games”. At this point, you
and your potential reader are asking the same question, “So what?” why should
you write about this, and why should anyone read it?

Do you want the reader to enjoy the same computer games you enjoy?
Do you want to analyze large-scale manufacturing of computer gadgets and computer
games?
Do you want to compare various compute games online?

2. Ask yourself how you are going to achieve this purpose.

How, for example, would you achieve your purpose if you wanted to
describe some movie as the best you’ve ever seen? Would you define for
yourself a specific mean doing so? Would your comments on the movie go
beyond merely telling the reader that you really like it?
 3. Start ideas flowing.

Gather as many good and bad ideas, suggestions, examples, sentences,

false starts, etc. as you can. Some friends can join in. write down everything that
comes to mind, including material you are sure you will throw out. Be ready to
keep adding to the list at odd moments as ideas continue to come to mind.

Pretend that you are being interviewed by someone –nor by several

people, if possible (to give yourself the opportunity of considering a subject
from several different points of view). What questions would the other person
ask? You might also try to teach the subject to a group or class.

4. Summarize your whole idea by diagraming your major points, or by

telling it to someone in three or four sentences.

Iv. Generalization:

Class, what you have learned today?

V. Evaluation

Think of a topic you want to write about. Prepare an outline for said topic. Then, find a
partner with whom you will discuss some specific details of your outline.
