Your instructor usually dictates what you can and cannot write. • Your instructor may reject your paper if you break these guidelines. • Explore your interests. Writing about your interests simplifies research and writing. • Select a research-friendly topic. Assess information sources for suitability. If you find too much knowledge, focus; if too little, broaden. • Create.

- 6. Evaluate your sourcesWrite your paper Check out the CARS Checklist for Information Quality for tips on figuring out how reliable and good the information you've found is. Your teacher expects you to give information that is credible, true, and reliable, and you have every right to expect the same from the sources you use. This step is especially important when using the Internet, where many sources aren't thought to be very trustworthy. Start by putting the information you've gathered in order. The rough draught is the next step. This is where you put your ideas on paper in a rough way. This step will help you organize your ideas and decide what your paper will look like in the end. Then, you'll revise the draught as many times as you think is necessary to make a final version that you can give to your teacher.
- 7. Cite your sourcesproperly Proofread Cite your sources and give credit where credit is due. Citing or documenting the sources you used in your research serves two purposes. First, it gives the authors of the materials you used the credit they deserve. Second, it lets people who read your work do the same research you did and find the sources you listed as references. The MLA Style and the APA Style are two common ways to cite sources. Plagiarism is when you don't give credit where it's due. Plagiarism is avoidable! The final step in the process is to proofread the paper you have created. Read through the text and check for any errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Make sure the sources you used are cited properly. Make sure the message that you want to get across to the reader has been thoroughly stated.
