It would take many many pages to fully describe how but below are some ideas:\n\noutline the logical steps to writing a good research paper. To achieve supreme excellence or perfection in anything you do, you need more than just the knowledge. Like the Olympic athlete aiming for the gold medal, you must have a positive attitude and the belief that you have the ability to achieve it. That is the real start to writing an A+ research paper.\n\nCONTENTS:\nSTEP 1. CHOOSE A TOPIC\nSTEP 2. FIND INFORMATION\nSTEP 3. STATE YOUR THESIS\nSTEP 4. MAKE A TENTATIVE OUTLINE\nSTEP 5. ORGANIZE YOUR NOTES\nSTEP 6. WRITE YOUR FIRST DRAFT\nSTEP 7. REVISE YOUR OUTLINE AND DRAFT\n              Checklist One   Checklist Two\nSTEP 8. TYPE FINAL PAPER\n\n\nSTEP 1. CHOOSE A TOPIC\nChoose a topic which interests and challenges you. Your attitude towards the topic may well determine the amount of effort and enthusiasm you put into your research.\n\nFocus on a limited aspect, e.g. narrow it down from "Religion" to "World Religion" to "Buddhism". Obtain teacher approval for your topic before embarking on a full-scale research. If you are uncertain as to what is expected of you in completing the assignment or project, re-read your assignment sheet carefully or ASK your teacher.\n\nSelect a subject you can manage. Avoid subjects that are too technical, learned, or specialized. Avoid topics that have only a very narrow range of source materials.\n\nSTEP 2. FIND INFORMATION\nSurf the Net.\n\nFor general or background information, check out useful URLs, general information online, almanacs or encyclopedias online such as Britannica, or Encarta, etc. Use Search Engines and other search tools as a starting point.\n\nPay attention to domain name extensions, e.g., .edu (educational institution), .gov (government), or .org (non-profit organization). These sites represent institutions and tend to be more reliable, but be watchful of possible political bias in some government sites. Be selective of .com (commercial) sites. Many .com sites are excellent; however, a large number of them contain advertisements for products and nothing else. Be wary of the millions of personal home pages on the Net. The quality of these personal homepages vary greatly. Learning how to evaluate Web sites critically and to search effectively on the Internet can help you eliminate irrelevant sites and waste less of your time.\n\nThe recent arrival of a variety of domain name extensions such as .biz (commercial businesses), .pro, .info (info on products / organizations), .name, .ws (WebSite), .cc (Cocos Island) or .sh (St. Helena) or .tv (Tuvalu) may create some confusion as you would not be able to tell whether a .cc or .sh or .tv site is in reality a .com, a .edu, a .gov, a .net, or a .org site. Many of the new extensions have no registration restrictions and are available to anyone who wishes to register a distinct domain name that has not already been taken. For instance, if Books.com is unavailable, you can register as Books.ws or Books.info via a service agent such as Register.com.\n\nTo find books in the Library use the OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog).\n\nCheck out other print materials available in the Library:\n\n    • Almanacs, Atlases, AV Catalogs\n    • Encyclopedias and Dictionaries\n    • Government Publications, Guides, Reports\n    • Magazines, Newspapers\n    • Vertical Files\n    • Yellow Pages, Zip or Postal Code and Telephone Directories\n\nCheck out online resources, Web based information services, or special resource materials on CDs:\n\n    • Online reference materials (including databases, e.g. SIRS, ProQuest, eLibrary, etc.)\n    • Wall Street Executive Library\n    • Index to Periodicals and Newspapers (e.g. MagPortal.com, OnlineNewspapers.com, etc.)\n    • Answers.com - an online dictionary and encyclopedia all-in-one resource that you can install\n      on your computer free of charge and find One-Click Answers

Tips for Writing an Argumentative Paper\n\nDr. Dyson’s tips for writing the \nARGUMENTATIVE RESEARCH PAPER\n\n1) By definition, an argumentative paper must have a THESIS. Your goal is to persuade your reader of a particular interpretation, not to describe a subject textbook-style. Be sure that you know and make clear to your reader what your point is. \n2) Avoid colloquialisms and very long paragraphs unless you have some pressing need for them (laziness does not count). \n3) Do not use subject headings: this is an argument, not a textbook. \n4) Do not just plunk down quotations: discuss them. This is important. Though often difficult, analyzing texts is the heart of scholarship. In general, long quotations should not end a paragraph. \n5) Footnote clearly, making it obvious what is your original contribution and what is not. \n6) Include a title page at the beginning and a list of "Works Cited" at the end. \n7) Cite ancient works by parenthetical references within the text, not by footnotes: e.g., (Iliad 10.45-53), (Aen. 6.112-23), (Suet. Aug. 44). Most ancient poetic works have book and line numbers, while most ancient prose works are divided into numbered sections. DO NOT refer to ancient works by page number within the translation unless there is no other way (as when translators, irresponsibly, neglect to give line or section numbers). Be sure to list the translations you use in your "Works Cited." \n8) Number your pages, starting with the first page of the text (not the title page). The length requirement given means text + footnotes; the list of works cited should be numbered but does not count for length (e.g. it would be page 11 of a 10-page paper). Staple the pages once in the upper left-hand corner. Do NOT use a folder. \n9) Indent and single-space quotations longer than 4 lines. \n10) Master The Elements of Style, the best guide to writing English prose. (If nothing else, obey this command: "Do not join independent clauses by a comma." I HATE comma splices.) Treasure this gem from the Introduction: \nVigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.\n11) On bibliography: in general, \n- A few well-chosen sources are better than many ill-chosen ones. \n- Look first for things published recently and by major presses. \n- Journal articles are the life-blood of scholarship in many fields. Put in your interlibrary loan requests early (expect at least a 2-week delay). \n- Secondary literature should be used to stimulate your thinking and alert you to the issues other scholars have found important. The main focus should be your own analysis of primary evidence.\n12) Read the paper aloud once you have finished. Never write a sentence you would be ashamed to say. And remember, good writing is rewriting what you have already rewritten.\n\nClick this website for more information that might be helpful;\nhttp://home.att.net/~profmulder/ESSAY.htm\n\nTopics for Writing\n\nBioethics ethics in Life Sciences \nAssisted Suicide \nGenetic Research \nComputing Issues the social implications \nIntellectual Property & Piracy \nCybercrime and Privacy \nConstitutional Issues our rights under the Constitution \nGun Control \nThe Death Penalty \nSocial Concerns quality of life \nAnimal Rights\nGambling\nGay Marriages \nEducation Issues our public schools\n         Testing to Improve Educational Standards\n         School Choice - charter schools & vouchers\n         Intercollegiate Athletics and Ethics \n\nI got these suggestions from this website;\nhttp://www.gc.maricopa.edu/English/topicarg.html\nIf you go to this website you can click on the topic you like and get information about that

How to write it depends on what format you're supposed to be using. MLA (Modern Language Assoc.), or APA (American Psychological Assoc).  Since you posted this question under Politics, I'm guessing you'll be using the MLA.

Hi there;\n\nThose are the easiest to write. :)\n\nA few topics are\nTwo of your favorite bands. Compare them to each other\nTwo of your favorite movies. \nTwo of your most desired car makes/models.\nTwo of your favorite movie stars.\nTwo different breeds of cats or dogs or horses.\nMeat eating vs. Vegan diets.\nKnitting vs. sewing.\nMac vs. IBM clone computers\n\nWhich ever subject you decide to choose the easiest one will be the one you know something about. ALWAYS write about what you know and write it in a way that you are telling someone who has never heard about your subject before. The words will come easier for you and the form will be easier to follow. \nI use an outline of a thesis statement followed by the opening paragraph.\nThree or four supporting paragraphs, then the closing statement which starts the closing paragraph.\n(The closing statement supports your thesis statement bringing the reader back to the beginning, giving a nice wrapped up paper.)\nGood luck friend. :D

Having an interest in a narrowed down topic that is phrased in the form of a question. Researching the question is fun, especially if you find resources or even one resource that gives you a new take on the subject and is a valid piece of information. Putting together and evaluating the information from several sources and using the correct research paper format is always a feeling of accomplishment.\n\nChow!!

well there's plenty of ways to find your thesis, one could be to write about something that you know a lot about and write about that(but make sure that you make it correct and not boring), another could be to pick something that you don't know much about and do research and find out more about it. just a few suggestions. they also have websites for topics that you might like on-line

make sure you have a clear thesis to begin your paper, this lets the read know what the paper is about.  Make sure you are able to explain your thesis in a way that is concise and easy to understand.  Finally, write your conclusion so that the reader is reminded of what the paper is about,  this is your last chance to get through to your reader.  Also make sure your grammer is correct.

I like this pretty basic outline:\nIntroduction\n  a. Lead (something to catch the reader's attention)\n  b. Thesis (main topic of your paper)\n  c. Preview of your main points (example: "dogs are great pets because they are loyal, easy to care for, and inexpensive"\n2-?. Body Paragraphs \n(Here, you put as many body paragraphs as you have main points. Altranate hard evidence with your comments and analysis)\n3. Conclusion\n  a. Restate thesis.\n  b. Closing (a sentence that gives a note of finality and ties it all in)\n\nThis is a pretty basic, highly structured outline. Once you get comfortable, you can be more creative.

Write about your experience writing the paper. From analyzing the assignment and understanding all the requirements, to being forced to buy pens and special paper (finding a computer to use), to sitting down to write only to find your little brother being to noisy so you had to go to the library, then you get thirsty, then you notice your rear-end is getting sore from sitting in this library chair for so long, counting the words/pages, all the way down to the last period.  Writing papers is a huge teen issue.
