Deadline #3 HW #1, Reading Reflection

In the 3 chapters we read this week, the main things I wrote down while reading were......
Roles - consider who will be reading our argumentative paper and cater to those people. Also about the purpose of the paper - why are you trying to convince or not convince these people of this.
It talked about research question and how having one of those ties your whole paper together and also to have a search plan to help you focus on those questions. It emphasizes having a schedule for those search plans --------- I loved being organized and having schedules so this is exactly what I did. I wrote down when I would study certain aspects of my topic and how I would record all the data I find. I decided to save all information in my Del.icio.us account so I have access to my information from whatever computer I am working from.
It also talked about searching and to best search while using databases or search engines and how to change search engines to better focus on exactly what you are looking for. Also referring to blogs for opinions and ideas is good too.
That is what I got from the readings this week!
