Chapter 6

Chapter 6 in the textbook is about siting sources and finding out which sources are best for your research paper. There are different ways for finding information you need to write a paper. One way that many people find information is just simply looking it up on google. This however many not provide the most credible sources unless you find a website that is a .gov, .edu, etc. These are generic sources but if someone wants a more credible source for their paper the best thing to do would be to look in a school database. These databases provide peer reviewed articles and other forms of information that are deemed credible by other people who know a substantial amount about the one topic you are looking for. My paper is on Fishing and the population of snook, a species of fish most commonly found in south Florida. I think it would be best to use the databases to find information on this or maybe the Florida wildlife and conservation website page.

    I think that using FSU's data base and the wildlife conservation website would really help with your paper! I think you should also reach out to proefssionals in the field and ask about their experience.

Action Plan

For my action plan I will add more pictures to my website and continue to expand on my topic. I also plan to make posters to place around campus to reach outside audiences and use that as my nondigital source. I will continue to work over the weekend to finish the project and best carry out my message on my website.

1) In project two I first did a lot of research to gather ideas and topics that I wanted to include in my essay. Then I went through and proofed it while adding citations and formatting everything. I did ended up doing three drafts rather than two. Project one was a little easier to write in my opinion because it was based off of our observations rather than facts and statistics. 2) I liked taking my first draft and transforming it into a final draft. This is where I organized all my thoughts and made the paper flow nicely. Once I have all my ideas out on the paper I can easily reorganize, cut and add new things. 3) I enjoyed project one more. I think it was lighter in the sense that it was more fun to write about. I liked exploring the different kinds of social adaptions in the films while also comparing time eras.

"Really Responding"

Sophia Fundora  The text "Really Responding" surprised me in the way that Richard Straub claimed that putting forth maximum effort when peer reviewing someone else's paper could make you an even better writer. He emphasizes the importance of writing comments within the margarines and summarizing the paper in your own words. I believe that this strategy mentioned could be very helpful not only for the person who's paper your reviewing but for yourself as well. It helps the writer see how the audience would perceive their paper and what they need to work on. It helps the reviewer by enhancing their comprehension skills and applying their own comments on their own paper as well. I also believe his strategy of taking the stage of drafting in to consideration when peer reviewing could be very helpful. For example, Straub mentions how if it's a first or rough draft, try not to deal with all the editing at once but instead focus on the large picture like the focus, con...
