Pre-research your topic. To build proper knowledge, read a bit about your topic on Wikipedia or watch a YouTube video on your topic.
Search. Using keywords, find articles that speak to the answer to your question and your thesis statement. As you search, be organized so you can refer to your notes and cite them properly.
Outline your paper and write. You should know before you begin what's going where, how you will begin and end your paper.
