(3) write a clear, brief thesis statement that articulates your position on your topic (in other words what point do you want to make about the topic?)
(4) publish an introductory paragraph about your paper,
(5) publish a brief outline that is a skeleton for the direction of your final paper
(6) Compose your preliminary list of the resources you cite in your intro paragraph and that you might use in the full paper
