A term paper, also known as a research paper, is commonly used as a practical exercise in the art of written communication. English instructors use term papers to instill a sense of discipline and time management in their students, which is why the deadline for turning in a final draft of a term paper is notoriously tight. English students are expected to find a suitable thesis, essentially a mission statement for the term paper, and do enough research to support it. The finished term paper is not always the most important element of the assignment-- it's the organizational process along the way.

Term papers written a generation or two ago were usually quite lengthy, and many English instructors required a significant number of sources and notations. More recently, a number of English instructors with higher workloads and larger class sizes have begun to lower some of their source requirements and overall word count, but the process of writing a term paper is still much the same. Here's how to organize and write an assigned term paper:

  1. Find a suitable and limited thesis. The keyword here is limited. Your English instructor may provide a list of acceptable theses, or you may have to do some preliminary research on your preferred subject to create one of your own. A thesis statement such as "Robert Frost led an exciting and difficult life." would be far too broad and unfocused. A more limited thesis involving Frost might be "Robert Frost's childhood experiences heavily influenced his poetry." An even more focused thesis would be "Robert Frost's poem 'The Road Not Taken' is based on his own life experiences."

    As soon as you have an approved limited thesis statement, you must prove it at least three different ways for an effective term paper. Much like a five-paragraph theme, a good term paper should contain at least three different approaches to the themeto be thorough. In our Frost sample above, you might suggest that Frost's poem was inspired by his childhood, his professional success and his family life. There may be other aspects, but at least you have three equally important arguments to present.
