Don’t forget to consider your paper’s audience—write as though you are introducing the topic to someone who knows nothing about it.
Goals:
To learn about the important elements to include in a research paper, including its introduction, body paragraphs that present the results of your research, a compelling conclusion that both restates the thesis and summarizes the main points within the essay, and a Works Cited that is formatted according to MLA style conventions.
