I found Chapter 7 to be helpful because it breaks down many complex parts of a research paper and simplifies it. The sections on citations is useful for me as well as knowing when it is most appropriate to quote from a source you are using. I liked that one specific part of the reading mentioned that paraphrasing is a way to inform your audience in a way that they can understand. This is important especially with technical and complex topics that people choose to research. Paraphrasing is a way to cater to the audience's limited knowledge of certain topics. Additionally, the reading defined both paraphrasing and summarizing, and I realized that I hadn't thought of those two terms as having different meanings. The MLA citations part of the chapter is something I will reference when writing my first draft as well.
This text showed me how us as readers perceive a certain font or text and how it can influence our mood and how we feel about a certain reading. It also showed me how elaborate texts can draw us into something such as a poster or a title page of a book. Also how very bland fonts do not appeal to many readers as they might think of it as boring and plain. This gives me a lot to think about as project three comes closer. It makes me think of the reader and what type of fonts might draw them into my website, social media page, etc. This text was very helpful for this type of assignment.
