Chapter 5 Response

By -
Chapter 5, "Exploring Topics and Creating A Research Proposal" highlights three necessary aspects when writing a research paper including the research topic itself, the proposal, and bibliography.  I think the advice provided regarding the ways to narrow down a broad research topic is very beneficial and can be used when choosing a topic for Project Two.  Additionally, I thought the examples of a written proposal and the two types of bibliographies were ideal to include within this chapter because they allow us to acknowledge how we can organize our own proposal and bibliography. In reference to the section regarding bibliographies, I was very intrigued when reading about the annotated bibliography as I never had to create this form of a bibliography before.  Thus, I am intrigued to incorporate this type of bibliography within the next project in this class and within my other classes, as well. Overall, this chapter brought to my attention the various ways to narrow down your research topic to write a thorough research paper.

    I also liked the inclusion of the bibliography, it helped to see an ideal bibliography and the ways in which a good one can vary.

Dirk also points out that genres are used to help people accomplish a goal. I never thought a genre could do that. 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...

Taylor   I really liked the video that Taylor made because it was a good visual representation for people who don’t like football. Personally, I like football, so I think it is necessary to have more research done for the players wellbeing. Sarah I really liked how Sarah chose such a relevant topic to today’s times. I really liked her journal entries because it showed how much a person is affected by others. No one should be judged based on their gender. Luke B I really like that he used a survey because it gave a semi accurate representation of the people here. I think it’s really funny that he chose the topic of makeup because most of the girls here always are done up. Kathryn The Spotify playlist was a very unique idea. I like that she included songs that help her study, or can be helpful for studying. Music does tend to affect a person mood, so it was an interesting genre alteration. Logan I really liked the twitter page that he made because it hit his ...
