Chapter 6 Blog Post
Chapter 6 discussed evaluating and choosing sources, and I thought it was helpful with learning about more sources. For example, the text talked about how a friend could be a reliable source, but I never thought about talking to my friends about research before. The reading made me realize that we use sources for everything from research to deciding what movie we want to go see. There are a variety of sources such as primary, secondary, and tertiary sources, which will all aid in finding out what information you need. The text distinguished between these three and when to use them, but before I read this, I never really knew the difference between them. When looking at sources, I learned it is important to realize the purpose, audience, rhetorical appeals, and mode. The genre is also important, because each genre displays information differently.
