I believe the writing process is very complex but simple. The steps to the research process simple to follow, but complex at executing. I believe, that you have to find credible sources to retain information about your topic. Someone cannot simply just Google everything, and believe that all of the information is credible. The researcher has to check out books, and other resources to get the best information about their topic. After gathering information, the researcher has to present it in a way that their audience could understand. I am pretty confident in my ability to execute the research process. We are taught from a very young age, how to do research and write papers. As we obtain a greater age, we learn to go more in depth about topics and find the important information. The thing that I struggle most with is siting credible sources. Usually, the internet is the easy way out to doing full research. But, I need to learn to use other resources such as maps, books, almanacs, and encyclopedias. The library system is very beneficial to everyone, because if we did not have the library system, we would not know what books we had in our library, and what we did not have. Also, there would be no type of organization such as, sorting books by, genre, author, title, etc. Also, if we did not have the library system, research would be harder to conduct because you would have to go through all the books in the library. The library system will help you identify the book you need for your topic.

    A. My cartoons message is that the United States Congress forced Northerners to capture and return escaped slaves to their masters. The controversial law allowed people to seize alleged fugitive slaves without due process of law and prohibited anyone from aiding escaped fugitives or impeding their recovery. It was often presumed that a black person was a slave; the law threatened the safety of all blacks - slave and free. My cartoon also conveyed a message that the law does not express the sentiments of our “American democracy.”…

    I believe that in order for me as a researcher to build confidence in my abilities, it is important to always understand how to find information on the various research that has already been done, and to study the different methods that have been used in prior experiments. I believe that it is impossible for me to remember every method that is available yet, it is possible to know how to reference research. This should help with confidence building.…

    The best approach I usually do research is, first of all understanding the purpose of writing. When I decide what I want to write about, for whom, and what my audience should gain after reading my paper, I can begin the research. I ask myself if I know anything about the subject and where I can find more information about this matter. Next, I have to determinate what sources can be useful and how creditable they are. I try to think “out of the box” in order to find other ways or perspectives of looking at the topic. I may even make some personal interviews to get the feeling, what other people may think about it. This approach usually leads me to finding out additional sources of information. Researching for me is basically reading, listening, gathering information, taking notes and then evaluating them. It is a very important step in the process of…

    The step that is easiest to me to complete is prewriting and drafting. I say them both because when it comes to prewriting it is like theres no limit to what you have to write. When it comes to writing down ideas and putting them all on one sheet of paper. You really do not need a scientist to know what to write, as long as you know what topic you are writing about and who you are writing to. I say drafting also because after you have written down numerous ideas from prewriting, you…

The first thing I did was read through the topics and make sure I fully understood what each one meant. After a day to mull over my options, I made my choice and began creating my writing plan.…
