Forming Issues/Thesis

Narrow the topic Pick a statement that will best show what
the paper will be about. -- That will become the thesis.

Know your Audience
After researching it is important to know the audience before writing the paper.
Questions to ask: Does the audience know anything about this
topic? Does this audience share a common knowledge/
belief?

Know your Audience“You can't persuade your listeners if you don't know much about them. Knowing your listeners helps you to shape your message in a way that's most likely to gain their acceptance.” (The Total Communicator)

Tone
After you know your audience it is important to know what tone to write in.
Are you writing in a formal tone? Or an informal tone?
Remember to stay consistent throughout the entire paper
