Chapter 5 Response

By -
This chapter will be helpful in gathering information on topics for project 2. (I think another helpful resource will be the databases we learned about during the library info session.) Chapter 5's idea of mind mapping seems like a good idea for brainstorming. Additionally, I think freewriting will be helpful.The entire chapter really simplifies the beginning process of a research paper, which will be nice when I am facing writer's block in the next few days. The student research examples were also helpful because it showed how different topics can pose different questions.

    I agree with you that the idea of mind mapping is a good idea. When I am trying to come up with a question it will be helpful with getting all of my thoughts down on one page.

I always thought it was used to just categorize novels or short stories but, now that I have read this piece, I now realize that genres are important because, if you write in the wrong genre, the message that you want to portray can come across completely differently then you had intended. The example that Dirk used of George Washington and his State of the Union Address. By using this genre, Washington...

Project 2 Reflection

By -
1)      In this essay I am most proud of the new way in which I learned to write a research paper. I was able to incorporate new writing skills into my paper that I never learned in my high school classes but will aid me in my future writing. 2)      If I had more time to work on this essay I would try to include more specific details to support my topic from a wider range of sources and provide more reasoning to support the legalization of physician assisted suicide. 3)      Peer reviews benefitted my essay the most. This is because it provided me with a lot of constructive feedback that I was able to take into consideration while editing my paper. The teacher review also helped me inn a similar way because it gave me some direction with where to go with my essay. 4)      While writing this project I was able to learn a different way of writing a research paper in which I have previously done in high...
