By writing an outline you really are writing in a way,beca.docx
By writing an outline you really are writing in a way,
because you’re creating the structure of what you’re going to do.
Once I really know what I’m going to write,
I don’t find the actual writing takes all that long.

CHAPTER 4Section 4.1 Selecting a Subject
This chapter concentrates on selecting and focusing a topic for a college paper and begin-
ning the prewriting process. If you have ever written an outline, you have already done
some prewriting. The skills you will learn in this chapter can be applied to personal,
expository, persuasive, and research papers, but they are also portable—that is to say,
these strategies can help you outside of the classroom experience. Writing is itself a por-
table skill that will assist you in becoming a better critical thinker, organizer of ideas,
and articulator of thoughts and arguments. Effectively selecting a topic and efficiently
prewriting are organizational tools that will aid you in synthesizing any information on
any subject.
4.1 Selecting a Subject
The first task when beginning a college writing assignment is determining a subject, or the general area of interest from which you will select the topic of your paper. Your assignment may provide you with the subject you must write about, or
you may be asked to select your own. If you are asked to choose your own subject, it is
important to choose one that is appropriate for the assignment and to properly narrow
the parameters of your topic, which the following sections will discuss. In either case,
remember to use the active reading skills you learned in Chapter 2 to identify key words
and phrases and action verbs, and to make certain you clearly understand the purpose
and requirements of the assignment.
Understand the Assignment
The subject that you choose to write about should be appropriate for you, the writer. If
you have a choice of subject, choose one that interests or excites you. If you are interested
in the subject, it will be easier to make it interesting to your readers. It is also fine to choose
something you know little about but have always wanted to explore. However, be aware
that such a subject will require that you spend additional time researching and referencing
sources.
Once you have generated a list of possibilities for your paper, think about which wou ...

- 1. Writing a Research Paper: Generating Questions & Topics Ashley Velázquez Brought to you in cooperation with the Purdue Online Writing Lab
- 2. What’s a Research Paper? A research paper— 1. requires you to critically think about, evaluate, organize, and compose; 2. is an assignment or project that grows over time as you interact with other sources; 3. varies in length; 4. is generally written on a topic decided by your teacher.
- 3. How Do You Start? Typically, the hardest part of starting a paper is starting!
- 4. Choosing a Topic • How do you usually choose a topic? 1. Read. 2. Talk with a friend or classmate. 3. Write down your initial thoughts about the topic.
- 6. Topic: Attendance in College Classrooms •Possible question: – Should attendance be required for a passing grade? •Possible answers: – No (why?) – Yes (why?) – Dependent (on?) •Possible Reasons: – Students are too busy to always go to class. – Students can’t participate if they’re absent. Ask a Question, Make a List
- 7. • What is freewriting? – You write without thinking, or stopping. The trick is to write whatever comes to mind, even if you trail off topic. Let’s try! Freewriting
- 8. Cubing • Cubing is a good way to look at your topic from 6 different perspectives. Here’s what you do: — Describe it — Compare it — Associate it — Analyze it — Apply it — Argue for and against it
- 9. What is Your Purpose? Who is Your Audience? What is your purpose? • Sometimes we get blocked because we don’t know why we’re writing this. Who is your audience? • Knowing who would read about our topic helps us focus our message and find a starting point.
- 11. Now Write! Hopefully this presentation has helped you develop some skills for thinking about topics and developing questions.
- 12. The OWL is also Helpful • There are many resources on the OWL’s website, one of which is about research papers and generating questions. Here’s the link: https://owl.english.purdue. edu/owl/resource/658/ 1/
