CREATE A THESIS AND OUTLINE

In the Unit $6$ Discussion Board, you will continue your progress, one step at a time,

with writing your Formal Informative Report due in Unit $8.$ By choosing a specific

research question for your topic, you limit the focus of your writing. Then, by

answering that research question as best you can, you create a preliminary thesis

or main point that will guide you through the next steps of the writing process.
