Things to keep in mind

 

• Come up with a thesis and the evidence you need to support it, before you begin writing.

 

• This thesis must be specific and arguable: don’t state the obvious.

 

• Support your thesis with a close reading and analysis of the texts. Refer to and quote the texts when presenting your evidence.

 

• Organize your evidence into paragraphs that each have one controlling idea. Sum up this idea with a topic sentence.

 

• Make sure your sentences are linked with clear transitions.

 

• Make sure your summary recounts your thesis and your supporting arguments.
