2 paragraph summary on research and writing

The best way to tackle your research is to write about something that you are most interested in . A reason to why you would want to do that is because you will have more things to write about and you won't worry about how many pages your teacher wants you to write. Your thesis statement should grab your reader's attention whenever you're writing a research. One way to get information is by including yourself as a source using your own life experiences. Make sure that your writing is suitable for all ages.
Always make sure that the information is primary and not secondary. This helps you get closer to the topic you are researching. You need " accurately and adequately cited footnotes, end-notes or in text notes using a recognized citation style". The argument that you write and evidence should be clear and logical. Also to make an argument for your research make sure your questions are very clear. However, before you start a research do a lot of reading, thinking and speak with your teacher.

For questions I can't really think because they have been answered, but I will ask them anyway..
  1. What are some ways that I can research my topic?
  2. Why should I include a thesis statement in my research?
  3. How can I find the perfect topic, if I'm interested in more than one thing?
  4. Will the grade I get on my research affect my overall grade?
  5. How do I properly cite text notes?
  6. What is the limit of pages to have?
  7. What is the format for a research paper to be in?
