Organization for this Essay
You will write an introductory paragraph with a thesis statement. Your thesis statement will demonstrate what the various sources say on the topic.
You will also have various body paragraphs that show synthesis. In synthesizing sources, you will divide your paper into themes.
For example, let us assume that you find four articles on the need for improved training for employees on electronic health records issues. In this situation, assume that the four articles emphasize different issues. One emphasizes the costs of data breaches to companies. Another emphasizes reasons that employees do not practice safe cybersecurity practices. Another discusses methods for training employees. Another mentions costs of training for such initiatives.
You might divide the paper into two categories:
• Reasons for implementing a training program
• Methods of and costs involved in implementing a training program
After developing the body of your essay, you will want to write a strong conclusion. Remember to summarize the material developed in the body in the conclusion. You might also consider calling for further research on the topic in your conclusion.
