After fully immersing yourself in your research and updating your bibliography, you should create an outline of your paper.

Write out a plan for your intro and conclusion, but do not worry about the specifics of those sections at this stage of the writing process. Use grammatically correct and error-free full sentences. Include notes about what sources you will include where, (cite all of your sources in the outline using correct APA in-text citations) and what your basic arguments will be.
