I'm bad at organizing papers. How should I outline a argumentative research paper?





If it helps... its a college class, I'm doing it on sex education, and it has to be 6 pages.

How should I outline a argumentative research paper?
here's a simple outline.........








Working Title (*optional here. You may want to wait until after your first draft)





Introductory Paragraph





What do I need to say to set up my thesis?


Thesis Statement (usually including a mention of the main points to come) =


_________________________


_________________________


_________________________


Transition (you don't have to write these out now but you should know what they'd roughly be)





Reason #4 = _________________________

Concluding sentence on how (all) the example(s) support thesis


Transition





Reason #3 = _________________________





example + explication of how it supports topic sentence


Concluding sentence on how (all) the example(s) support thesis

I hope that helps.....that's how I always write my papers...... it should work. Trust me, just knock it out!
Reply:Q. Tino has laid out a perfect shell for the outline.





Don’t forget to address rebuttal arguments as well. This will help with the 6 page minimum.
Reply:Ugh, I had to write one last semester in college and it had to be 7 pages. I did get an "A" on it though! I did mine over E-85 fuels. If you message me, I'll send you mine and you can use it as a guideline.
