Select general topic
Develop arguable questions connected to that topic
Sift through research questions to select or create one main driving question
Establish your initial response to the driving question
Research other responses to the question from valid primary and/or secondary resources
Take thorough notes and summarize the thoughts of others
Re-evaluate your own initial response, based on your research, and refine your response to the research question; this response will be the thesis statement of your essay
