  1. I am going to set it up in three sections; the intro, body and conclusion. I can use transitions words such as therefore, henceforth, moreover, in addition, also, and thus. Some important facts to remember for my final paper would be to not use any personal pronouns. Also I shouldn't use contractions in my final paper either.

  3. Im going to set up my research paper by supporting my thesis, and in some parts a time line of his life. I think it would be best that way. You have to support your argument, and it is always good to give a little biography on his life. Transition words that I can do would first, then, moreover, finally, etc. Important facts to remember would be to not go off topic, no contractions, support thesis, and to make sense in what your saying.

  4. I am going to set up my research paper by setting all my notecards in order, i will use them to basicly write out my paper. Also looking through my sources for more information to include in the research paper. I will also cite as im writing to make it easier as i go. I could use many transition words, just not "don't" i would write out "do not." Important facts to remember when writing my final paper is to always cite information that is parafrazed or quoted from my sources to be sure there is no plagerism. Also, to remember not to write "don't" instead of "do not"

  15. I thought writing a research paper was going to be hard, but now that I have an organized way of doing it, it doesn’t seem so hard. I researched all the information I need for my paper. With that information I made an outline. An outline is the structure of your paper. Stating the supporting details, and supportive ideas, then explaining them. When we were little we learned transitions such as first, next, finally. Being in high school or college those transitions are not the best to use. Transitions like therefore, although, also and in conclusion are more mature and impressive. When writing a research paper make sure you have a thesis that you can easily express, explain and write about. Also NEVER talk about yourself in your paper. Lastly, make sure your paper has a nice flow and every idea is explained and are relevant to your topic.

  23. Words like Next, Then, After that, and Finally are commonly used transition words. I would use these, but maybe some others to spice up the sound a little more. Dates are good transition elements to use as well as as a result or that eventually led to could all spice up a paper. You have to remember format. MLA headings always get me. I always forget them. It's a long paper so try to put in as much detail as possible. Those are some format tools to remember as well as great transitions

  25. I will write my paper after reviewing my own rough draft. I would start by correcting grammar mistakes and then try to use more complex sentences to give my paper a little more pazzazz in my paper. Hopefully this will make it look good. Some transition words that I'll use would be since, during, although, even though, and until. These transition words are better than the average first, next, and after. Some important facts about your person that could be on the final paper could be their background information, what they did, and how they did it. Like my person, Toni Cade Bambara tried to spread the word of equality through many of her short stories that she wrote through her life.

  27. When i set up my research paper im going to have a good opening paragragh and alot of transition words. such as, also, furthermore, lastly, next etc. when your writing a final paper, you want to remember to include all of the supporting details for your topic. If you go off topic, then you will not have a good final paper. That is not a good way to write any paper in the first place. You want to put as much detail into your final paper as possible. Make sure to state your opinion and give resons on why and why you didn't choose something or why or why not you liked it or not. You want to include all the information on all of the research you did for the person that you got chosen to do. -Jeff Ritter
