For next class: 
incorporate questions and comments from peer review and thesis statement written comments to generate a outline of the research paper.  A research outline is a brief plan of what you are going to discuss in your term papers, including bulletin points, direct or indirect quotes, images, case studies,etc. It does not have to be in the form of complete sentences and is intended to be an organizational tool. Do not copy and paste text from any source (internet, books, etc.) without marking it as a direct quote.
