Q: Don’t base your thesis on generalizations that are made previous research papers. Try not to assume that a past approach is the only approach. Step away from your research for a few days, so that you see it with fresh eyes. Take a break every week, just as you would with a job. Try to explain what you’ve found. Ask the person to ask questions that arise as they hear about the topic to see the topic with fresh eyes. If you have been approaching a subject from an anthropological perspective, try papers in sociology, biology or another field. Expand your sources through your library’s reference section. Start filling in your outline. As you write, you will decide which sub-sections require more research.
A: Don’t bootstrap. Talk about your research to someone who doesn’t know anything about the topic. Try to find sources in different disciplines. Begin writing.

Article: It helps to diminish stress by releasing positive chemicals into your brain, which can help to cope with the many adaptations and changes of first having a baby.  Breastfeeding also diminishes post-pregnancy bleeding. This is because it stimulates the release of a particular hormone, called oxytocin, which helps the uterus to contract more quickly and lessens bleeding after the birth.  Oxytocin (known as the "love hormone") also promotes bonding with your baby, and helps to strengthen the relationship you share. Breastfeeding, if done continually, can sometimes serve as contraception (birth control) for up to six months. This is because the hormone balance created in your body while breastfeeding is not conducive to becoming pregnant with another child. This is not, however, the case for all women — some women will get pregnant while nursing, so don't consider it a fool-proof method of birth control.  If you don't want to get pregnant again while nursing, then you need to utilize another form of birth control. Breastfeeding will also postpone the return of your period. Moms that breastfeed and eat a well-balanced diet as they try to lose weight find it easier to shed pounds than mothers who bottle feed. Breastfeeding automatically burns calories every time you produce new milk, which equates to approximately 500 calories per day for the average nursing mother. You will not have to purchase bottles, refill bags, replacement nipples, bottle cleaners or the many cases of formula it will take to feed your baby if you are not breastfeeding.  Infant feeding costs are estimated to cost around $1,000 USD for the first year. Also, due to the increased immune system function of a baby who is breastfed, you will save yourself money from visits to the paediatrician for potential illnesses. It is always available without waiting for preparation. There is no need to get up to prepare a bottle or heat the formula before offering it to your baby. Also, consider your breastfeeding as an environmentally friendly gesture. Think of all the trash you will not be contributing as waste. It has been proven medically that women who breastfeed have a lower risk of developing breast cancer, ovarian cancer, postpartum depression, and type 2 diabetes.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Be aware of the hormonal benefits that breastfeeding offers your body. Know the possible contraceptive effects of breastfeeding. Help yourself to lose weight post-pregnancy via breastfeeding. Save money by breastfeeding. Welcome the ease of feeding your baby from the breast. Know that research shows overall health benefits for the mother, too.

Q: The first sentence of each paragraph should state what the paragraph is about. The subsequent sentences should explain the topic in more detail and provide evidence. In this way, you move from general to specific information. For example, a topic sentence could be, “Above average rainfall contributes to increased likelihood of landslides.” The subsequent sentences could discuss how much the likelihood is increased based on the amount of rain, and how this was determined. Explain how you collected data and information for your investigation. List the methods used, like research or lab testing, as well as the sources, such as lab reports or interviews. Tell the audience what you observed or discovered and draw conclusions based on facts. For instance, you could write, “World population and landlocked state population density statistics were obtained from 2 sources. The mean population density was calculated for each set of data.” Then, detail the method used to find the mean density, state both mean densities, and compare them. Evidential support should be relevant and detailed. Statistics, lab reports, and mathematical conclusions are examples of good sources of evidence. For instance, if writing about volcanic eruptions, provide findings from a lab report that explain the composition of samples taken from a volcanic site or eruption. You may have graphs, charts, or images that help explain your subject. If so, include them in the appendices and label them clearly. Don’t forget to discuss the materials in the text as well to explain their significance. Maps or photographs of the area may be particularly helpful for a geographical report.  For example, include a photo of a landslide and list where and when it took place. Alternatively, add a link to video footage of a volcano. Restate the question or subject, then summarize the methods you used to answer the question or explore the subject. State your findings and discuss impacts or ramifications of your research. Use your conclusion to connect all the information you provided. For instance, list all the factors that contribute to a landslide. Discuss how landslides affect animal and human populations as well as their impact on the environment. You need to tell the readers what the paper is about, and why it matters, in the introduction. Explain how and where the study was carried out, and define any pertinent terms that the audience needs to know. Outline the structure of the report as well.  For example, if writing about population density, define “landlocked states” and explain what units would be used to discuss population density (such as people per square mile).  It’s actually better to write your introduction last, rather than first! That way you’ll be able to quickly outline what’s to follow.
A:
Begin each paragraph with a topic sentence. Detail your methodology and findings. Provide accurate and specific evidence. Include relevant materials or media. End with a strong conclusion. State your research question or subject in the introduction.
