16. Prewriting: How do you pre-write? What works best?

17. Research Specific Organizers:
When writing a research paper, things must be organized with detail.
Many outlines in RJ2 were too short.
As a general rule, each page of an outline will equal about one page of writing.
You should have a 3-5 page outline.

18. 1) Prewriting = Research:
Not ALL ideas do not come from your brain, as they do in creative writing.
Your opinion and thoughts are supported by research in this style of writing.

19. 2) Outlining/Drafting:
Your research journals assist with drafting.
Your outline leads to a rough draft.
Many need to add to their outline.

20. Outline Examples:
“A Study on Factors Affecting the Infant Feeding Practices of Mothers in Las Pinas City”
MLA Outline Example
Distributed: 15 February
These examples are not double spaced, so they appear to be shorter.

The following is a conversation between Mr. Short and his former student who graduated from Whitesboro High School in 2012.

25. The purpose of research journals, papers & presentations is to prepare you for college.
