Once you have developed a focus
for your topic, you will want to rephrase it as a question. Ask
yourself, what do I want to prove in my paper? What question(s) do I
want my paper to answer? This will help you to articulate what
information you need to look for and later can become the basis for your
thesis statement. For example, a topic on using animals to test
cosmetics might be rephrased into the following question:
 |
Is it ethical to use animals to test cosmetic products?
|
Next, brainstorm other possible questions that may be derived from your
initial question.
For example:
|
What type of animals are typically used to test cosmetics?
|
|
How many animals a year are used?
|
|
What are alternatives to animal testing?
|
|
What are some arguments for and against using animals to test cosmetics?
|
Now when you go to the library to start your research, you have some
specific questions in mind you want to find the answers to. |
