I agree with this article. Sometimes it can be difficult to come up with an idea for topics for an essay.This article goes on to speak about good ways to get started with choosing a topic.

It said to start, a student should google the topic. Get some background information on the topic.
Normally, I don't really google my topic, I sort of go off of my personal experiences if the topic allows, then get background information. Then I like to make list and write down my sources for different paragraphs and my thesis.

After picking a topic and sources, the article says, to dissect and reread the sources. Its time to ask questions about the articles or chosen sources. I think this is a great idea and I normally do this already. But it says when reading, answer these questions
          1. Who's saying what?
          2. Are there terms that need to be defined?

After picking the best topic, according to the article, what about it interest you the most? Do you think it will help you stay up to par with what the assignment ask? When I tend to settle on a topic, I don't normally go into depth with it like the article calls for. But I think it make great points to really have a solid idea to write about.

Writing Activity March 27, 2018

My writing process for project 2 was different from project 1 because I had to conduct research towards my argumentative topic. I also was required to use the Florida State university database in order to find peer-reviewed article that would provide me with correct information. This essay also had several sources whom mad me sound more credible towards my audience, which enabled me to write more about my topic. The personally think that writing a first draft and then revising it in order for it to be my final draft to be very helpful when writing a research essay. I was able to carefully go over any grammatical or punctuation errors as well as make sure that all my sentences made sense and were not random. I enjoyed project 2 the most because I was required to conduct research on my topic, which allowed me to expand my knowledge towards an argument that is personal to me and it made me sound even more credible when discussing this argument face to face with someone.

The Bedford Book of Genres

Throughout chapter 1 of “The Bedford Book of Genres,” I learned that there are a variety of ways to improve one’s writing. Several writers tend to get carried away while writing that they forget who their audience is and what message they are trying to deliver. This is when one must ask themselves what their purpose of writing is, do they want to present a narrative/ tell a story, inform, or persuade. After figuring out ones purpose they must choose a genre to be able to shorten their idea and be concise. In order for this to occur one must know the basic qualities and agreed-upon rules about the genre they are composing. Once one makes those decisions they move on to the rhetorical situation which mainly explains the idea. This allows the writer to provide support on their purpose such as saying what is great about it or provide statistics, which will automatically make their writing more interesting for the audience to read, as well as, get t...
