Research Question and Thesis Worksheet
1. Share the topic you selected from the list and the associated research question or include your original topic and research question.
2. Read the article associated with your topic and research question and summarize it here in 3 to 4 sentences. Include the reference information. The listed articles are already in APA style, and there are citation tools in the University Library. Additionally, you may use the Reference and Citation Generator to create a reference to cut and paste here.
3. Consider your topic. What is your position? How will this affect your approach in writing the essay?
4. Next, focus your work by creating a thesis statement. A thesis statement expresses the position taken in the argument and provides the reasoning for that position. It’s the answer to your research question. (It is okay if your thesis changes over time; the research may inspire a new direction later.)
