Write it!

Once you have an approved writing plan (outline, bulleted list, graphic organizer, etc.), you are ready to begin drafting the paper. Certainly, your teacher expects you to prepare a well organized and grammatically sound essay, speech, report, or presentation. 

Aside from these expectations, a research project requires additional attention to the accuracy of the information you present. It is at this stage of the research process that you have to be careful not to commit plagiarism, intentional or not. Remember that whether you paraphrase, summarize, or quote information from your sources, you must punctuate and cite the information correctly.
