Steps to Write a Good Paper

1. Choose the topic of your paper
Choose a topic you are interested in and you
have  adequate  information  of.  The  more  you
know about the topic you choose, the better.

2. Identify the information sources
There   are   many   reference   sources   available
now.  They  are  encyclopedias,  books,  journals,
magazines and newspaper. Find the sources in
printed  form  from  CD-ROMS  programmes  or
from the Internet.

3. Create an outline
Provide an outline for your paper by organizing
the information from the sources you have into
topics, subtopics, details, and sub details. Use
such as organization, such as:
I. (topic)
     A. (subtopic)
            1.  (detail)
         a.  (sub detail)

4. Write a rough draft
Write a rough draft of your paper using your
outline. Use numbered footnotes to acknowledge
sources from which you take quotations or major
ideas.

5. Revise the Rough Draft
Make  any  changes  to  assure  that  your  ideas
are  clearly  conveyed.  Be  sure  that  you  have
written the paper using spelling and grammar
accurately.

6. Preparing Bibliography
Make  a  list  of  all  sources  you  have  used  in
gathering   information   for   the   paper.   The
