THE OUTLINE TREE Think of your outline for the paper as a tree with bare branches.&nbsp;After you have chosen your thesis (trunk) and your main ideas (branches). You will add the&nbsp; 1. Twigs (supporting ideas)  2. Leaves (details). A research paper is a combination of facts and opinions. Your thesis statement is an opinion, but you have to support it with facts in order to convince the reader that your argument is valid.&nbsp; Thesis: This statement belongs in your first paragraph.&nbsp; The thesis is the point that you are going to argue in your paper.  Branches: The main ideas that support the thesis. Twigs: The supporting ideas and the details (leaves) that develop from the main ideas (branches). Conclusion: A restatement of the strongest points of your argument. Your thesis forms the trunk of the tree. All of your proof will branch off from this point.&nbsp;Your main ideas that support the thesis will be the branches, and the examples you give to discuss and explain the main ideas will be the twigs and leaves.
