Geography Term Paper Assignment -

Topic - "Geographical formation of Yosemate Park"

Guideline for the paper -

The purpose of this guidebook is to aid students in writing research papers in introductory college-level geography courses.

Choosing a Topic: Choose a topic narrow enough to find specific information, but not so narrow that you cannot find enough information. Before committing to a topic, scan a database to see if you will be able to find enough information on that topic. Please limit your topic to a United States National Monument or Park feature. This paper should be at minimum of 1600 words, not including the bibliography.

Your objective in writing a geography research paper most often is to assemble information from a variety of sources of data into a coherent argument to demonstrate to your instructor that you understand the material. Often you want to add a different perspective for looking at the data, one which has not been introduced by a previous writer. Therefore, when searching for materials, don't expect to find a book or article with the exact title of your topic. If you find such a book or article, there is probably little that you can add to the subject.

Writing the Paper:

Introduction/Literature Review: You will need to provide your thesis statement, the argument you will pursue throughout the paper. You will probably also want to inform your reader why this is an important issue to examine. The introduction should also provide the reader with an overview of the topics and the order in which they will be covered within the paper. This will be an opportunity to introduce many of your resources and background that you will go in to more detail later with.

Body: The body of your geography paper is basically going to be a literature review. Thus, you are presenting data or providing evidence from other specialists in a clear and logical fashion that will eventually lead to the drawing of conclusions from that data. Personal opinions are usually not relevant in this type of paper. (Avoid the use of pronouns such as I, me, and you.)

Conclusion: Restate your thesis and link the conclusions drawn from your research back to the thesis. Be sure to state the applications or implications of your argument. Suggest future areas of research.
