What we find out in this point are terms that will influence the time searching information.

3d: Writing a Rough Outline •Topic Outline - key terminology - words and phrases

•Sentence Outline - major and minor points e.g. Death Penalty

3e: Using Questions to Identify Issues •Questions develop answers •Get a focus: What do you want to know

most? •Finalize to one single core question e.g. Dolphin Slaughter

3h: Using Your Thesis to Chart the Direction of Your Research

Arrangement by Issues•Thesis:

Misunderstandings about organ donation distort reality and set serious limits on the availability of those persons who need an eye, a liver, or a healthy heart.

• Issue 1: Many myths mislead people into believing that donation is unethical.

• Issue 2: Some fear that as a patient they might be terminated early for their body parts.

• Issues 3: Religious views sometimes get in the way of donation.

Arrangement by Cause/Effect•Thesis:

Television can have positive effects on a child’s language development.

• Consequence 1: Television introduces new words. • Consequence 2:

Television reinforces word usage and proper syntax.

• Consequence 3: Literary classics come alive verbally on television.

• Consequence 4: Television provides the subtle rhythms and musical effect of accomplished speakers.

Arnt. by Interpretation and Evaluation•Thesis:

Shakespeare mnaipulates the stage setting for Hamlet’s soliliquies to uncover his unstable nature and forecast his failure.

• Point 1: His soul is dark because of his mother’s incest. • Point 2:

He appears impotent in comparison with the actor.

• Point 3: He is drawn by the magnetism of death.

• Point 4: He realizes he cannot perform cruel, unnatural acts.

• Point 5:He stands ashamed by his inactivity in comparison.

Arrangement by Comparison

•Thesis:Discipline often involves punishment, but child abuse adds another element: the gratification of the adult.

• Comparison 1: A spanking has the interest of the child at heart but a beating or a caning has no redeeming value. • Comparison 2:

Time-outs remind the child that relationships are important and to be cherished, but lockouts in a closet only promote hysteria and fear.

• Comparison 3: The parent’s ego and selfish interests often take precedence over the welfare of the child or children.
