Very Stressed Out


Question Posted Tuesday November 30 2004, 3:42 am

I have a project for History Latin America which is due Wednesday this week. I basically have no idea how to start writing it or how even to write a draft.

I've tried everything from using my brain to think of possible ways to do this assignment but I just couldn't do it.

Here's the question pertaining to the Latin America project....

Should we or shouldn't we have a lieutenant governor in New Jersey? Present both sides. Also, the pros and cons of lieutenant governor.

Please reply soon and any help from all of you will be great. Thanks!

consortofvenus is absolutely right, but I can help you make the planning and writing easier. Once you have all your notes together, create an outline of your paper. If you need help getting that off the ground just ask me, I can whip up a few examples. That would take up way to much space here. The basic idea is to organize your thoughts and arguments in a way you won't lose track of as you write. Sentence outlines are easiest for this kind of thing. Start with an overall theme, what point you want to make clear through out your paper. First organize your opening paragraph by listing the points you want to stress in your paper. If there are secondary point you feel need stressing in this portion put them under the and indented below the main point.
Follow the order you set out in your opening paragraph for the rest of the outline and the paper and use your notes to flesh out each section. I hope this helps you. I know it's sketchy, but you can find info on line to help with your outline. I've found this to be the ONLY way for me to create a coherent research paper. Luck! If you need more information I'll be happy to try and help.

Well the first thing to do is to study the idea. Find out what a Lt Gov. does. Then look into the state of the government in New Jersey as well as things on civilian levels. Look anywhere you can and see how NJ having a Lt Gov. would effect different situations in New Jersey from the state of the government to how it will effect the people and all situations that a Lt Gov could possibly effect. I'd also look into how Lt Govs. have effected other places to more fully expand your knowledge of the subject.

Take plenty of notes in your research. When you have all that important info written down and in one place then read it over, emerse yourself in the subject and learn it.

Then ofcourse you begin writing from there. Keep the notes on-hand for reference if you need them. Write the introduction first (to explain what the project is about and to catch the readers' attention).

Then take one specific issue and write your heart out about it. Depending on how many words you need in the project over-all, that first writing could be a paragraph of 10 lines or several pages of paragraphs. I'm guessing since it is a project that you'll need to delve into each detail of the issue and write it out as clear and concise as possible.

And then you take another issue that is created by the Lt Gov. question and do the same. Keep doing that until there's nothing else to write about. And there will be your project.
