VCSEwiki:Blank page: Difference between revisions

In this course, please read the provided texts that introduce these disciplinary views on Globalisation (see [[Globalisation 2008/2009 Themes]]). While you browse the themes, concentrate on basic terms and principles, and on  the themes you are most interested in.

*then you can write a '''short summary''' of the whole text (see an example at the bottom of the [[The nature of globalisation. Global actors and driving forces]]).

The theme you are going to write about is relevant to a specific discourse (economy, sociology,... - our texts provide brief summary of the globalisation problem from the disciplinary points of view). Your topic can be included in some theme of the Globalisation .

Outline the title of the article, under this heading briefly describe the theme you are going to explore. You can write it on the relevant Globalisation page (make an internal link from some VCSE theme - see [[Help:Editing|Editing rules]]), or create a completely new page  (see also [[Help:Starting a new Page|Starting a new Page]] in Technical instructions)

What is the relationship between a  research questions and thesis statement? Your research question needs to be  "answered" - the thesis statement is the "answer".There may be several potential  answers to your question, but you need to choose one for the focus of your essay. Your thesis statement will be something your need to try to "prove" in  your essay. During previous stages you have been drawing on your own opinions,  and in the last stage your explored your area of interest in the literature. You might have already started to define your opinions and clarify them in your wiki page, and now this process needs to be completed. Your  research question and thesis statement will need to be made explicit in the introduction to your essay. Eventually, your research question and thesis statement will be used to define your essay title. In this stage, identify your question and its "answer" (thesis statement) and write these on your wiki page.

  When writing any text for this VCSE Wiki, look at the required '''[[Help:Structure of the page|Structure of the page]]''' - it will help you to structure your own writing product.

*You can start with drafting your '''introduction'''. It will probably change after you have  developed the whole article, but it would be useful for you to describe your  problem and define basic terms at this stage. Use  [http://www.dartmouth.edu/~writing/materials/student/ac_paper/write.shtml#intros description  of a good introduction] in the online materials of [http://www.dartmouth.edu/~writing/index.html Writing at  Dartmouth program].

*Draft a '''“map” of your essay'''. It could be an outline of your future article, or simple description of your ideas – clearly explain the starting  point of your thoughts, and where your thoughts will probably end.

Everyone works in a different order: you might start working on short  annotations of paragraphs in the planned “body” of your text, and after that write your introduction and few words about conclusion. This is up to you – you  may even change this “workplan” in further stages.
