Writing Background of the Study

There are four parts to the Background.  I’ll detail them as tasks to do when writing.

Introduce the Manuscript (optional or no sub-heading)

In 1 to 3 paragraphs, explain what you are writing about and explain why you are writing about it.  Begin the 1^st paragraph with a hook.  And the entire et of paragraphs should inform the reader what you intend to accomplish, and that it is worth accomplishing.

Introduce the Independent Variable (make a strategic sub-heading)

Discuss in a minimum of 3 paragraphs.  Inform the reader about the Independent Variable.  The discussion should proceed from the general idea about it, going towards the specific idea.  E.g. Solid Waste, begin with environmental problems.  And with solid waste management in Manila (if Manila is your locale).

Introduce the Dependent Variable (make a strategic sub-heading)

Do the same as with the Independent Variable,

Introduce the Thesis (make a strategic sub-heading – preferably a rewording of the actual thesis statement)

Approximately 1 to 3 paragraphs.  Talk about the thesis statement.  Which is the relationship between your Independent and your Dependent Variables.  The last paragraph should end with the actual thesis statement.

In summary:

Introduce the Manuscript

Introduce the Independent Variable

Introduce the Dependent Variable
