Draft your research report

Step 5 of the capstone turns your notes, timeline, and cause-effect analysis into a written report. A research report is not a creative essay — it is a structured argument that takes the reader from your research question to your evidence-backed answer.

2Write a thesis statement that answers the research question in one sentence
3Build a body paragraph with a topic sentence and at least two pieces of evidence
