12 and 13

These two chapters are all about finding your argument. Chapter twelve is about setting up your thesis statement, while chapter thirteen is about the actual argument you will have about your subject.
I think that some of the information can be shifted around, so you find a statement to have and settle on an argument, then come up with your thesis after you have a specific argument to go off of. These chapters will help us keep our paper organized, and help us find where we stand with our topics. We can always look back at our thesis to keep our paper following it, and if we realize that our thesis should be different, then we can update it or change it to fit how we really feel.

Chapters 17 and 18

17.)
This chapter is all about editing your paper. This chapter tells us to make sure that all the information we use is accurate, and to make sure that we do not use unnecessary terms that are superfluous to the text. It also suggests that we keep the information constant and consistent. We need to make sure that our papers are in the same time frame throughout, instead of changing it around all the time. We need to make sure that our paper is age appropriate, so we do not sound like we are talking to babies, oh yes we do! We need to keep our paper professional and clean. A big suggestion is that we make sure that our grammar and spelling and punctuation is goods, as well as making sure that someone proofreads our paper to make sure it is in order.
This chapter is a big one on directing us on how to write well. We need to make sure that as we draft our paper over and over, we clean it up as well.

18.)This chapter is about presenting our topic. This helps us in the fact that presenting will be a part of the grade we get. This chapter more specifically talks about presenting to a class, rather then in a paper. The tips this chapter gives on oral presentations are more of the physical type, such as talking slowly and enunciating your words. This chapter also tells us that we need to have notes just in case we can not remember a part or need to refresh our memory on some details. We need to make sure that we engage our audience by making eye contact and bringing them into the conversation. If we look away, they will feel cut off and not want to engage in our presentation.
This chapter really went into great detail about presenting. I never really thought about presenting as such a lengthy process. Usually I would just go up and present my subject, without really considering how my audience felt, and without really engaging them in some way or other.

Chapter 3

This chapter is all about finding the question to ask as your paper's topic. In this chapter, it discusses that in order to convince your readers, you must first know how to present your question. You must know your position on your topic, and reflect on how that position can affect your paper.

This chapter helps us this week as we find out how to present our paper to others. It also helps by giving us instruction on how to get our point across in a way that makes sense.

Incorporating Sources Effectively (Keith, Zach, Rachel)

According to Daniel Craig, “Educational and clinical use of this study might include the determination of meaningful music for an individual or population, or ratification and review of existing activities at an individual or group level”(67).

In the article written by Daniel Craig, he states, “Cantor and Zillman [men whom took a part of the experiment] (1973) demonstrated that emotional arousal prior to music listening resulted in an increase in the appreciation of the music as compared with situations where no arousal took place. This suggests a direct relationship between emotional arousal and a degree of meaningfulness (as measured by ‘‘appreciation’’), even when the emotional reaction did not occur in response to the music”(59). This suggests that music can often elicit an emotional response.

Craig also quoted others who found similar results. He quotes in the Nordic Journal of Music Therapy, “He [Panskepp] demonstrated that subjects reported having the most emotional reactions to music that was familiar to them” (59). This implies that music does elicit responses, even when tested differently.

“Based on the reports …  [researchers assumed] that emotional reactions are prevalent enough in this population to be studied, as well as memorable enough to be accurately described by self-report measures”(60).

Keith, Zach, Rachel "Big Picture"

With Google: Basic information needed to understand your topic.

With Library Database: Usually given academic writings that go into more details and give more in depth information along with data taken from experiments. 

You can use many different types of sources in order to gather the largest amount of information possible. Different types of sources i.e. video, map, visual sources will provide a great "big picture," while scholarly articles will provide good current facts and controversies that are reliable. The more kinds of different contrasting sources we tap into the better the overall report will be, especially if we are addressing all the issues that conflict on the topic.

Chapter 8

This chapter is all about avoiding plagiarism. It tells us how to avoid plagiarism and gives some answers to the excuses we might use to defend plagiarism. The best ways to find out if you are retelling information, I think, can be found on pages 136 and 137. These pages help tell if what we are doing is considered cheating.
This chapter is extremely important as if we plagiarize, accidentally or intentionally, our grade becomes zero for this class, and if we do not learn how to avoid it, we may become a victim of it.

Chapter Nine

This chapter tells how to find reliable sources online. In order to do this, we must know our topic, know a few databases to use, and know what web sites are noteworthy. Usually these sites will be known beforehand as a credible source, or can be found using the library database.
This chapter gives the basics and details on how to search smartly using databases and find what authors and web sites and publishers are credible.

Chapter 5

This chapter tells all about how to find if a source seems relevant. In order to do this, you must decide through evaluation if the content, publisher, author, and comprehension seem college worthy. We can also look at web sources to find if they are credible, and we must go through the author's research.
This chapter instructs us on how to find out if our source gives good enough information to intelligently write a paper.

Chapter 7

This chapter, like chapter 6, is instructing us on how to be organized. This chapter tells us to keep our print sources organized, to save digital sources in one place, and to begin our bibliography. Doing all of these things will help us stay organized and help us find our information for later use.

This chapter, if we heed its instructions, will be beneficial to us this week and throughout the time we write our research paper by keeping us organized. We will be able to find all of our sources and if we lose some, we will be able to find them again by looking through our bibliography.

Chapter 6

This chapter gives instruction on how to take notes that are relevant for your research. This chapter instructs that we must keep our notes organized and consistently take notes, from quoting passages to paraphrasing ideas. We also need to keep notes of our reactions to the sources, to better find a way to convince our reader of our opinion.

This chapter is relevant to this week because it helps us understand why we need to take notes and how taking notes will help us succeed.

Chapter 4

This chapter tells us to focus on our position while reading over our sources. We need to keep in mind that our paper is supposed to make people see the topic our way and understand our points. This chapter also instructs on how to read our sources, first by skimming then reading the whole thing, then looking over parts that struck us as important. We need to find our position and take notes on the sources that help prove those positions.
This chapter helps us to begin our paper and tells how to read those sources we found.

Chapter 2

This chapter instructs the reader on how to find a topic that is right for them and how to begin finding good resources on that topic. It discusses that we must have an opinion on our topic and to skim over the resource to gather your opinion on that source.
This chapter will help us begin to find appropriate sources to use in our research paper, and also instructs us to always have an opinion on our topic.

Chapter One

This chapter helped me understand what needs to happen in any research paper. I really liked how the questions posed in this chapter as paragraph headings could help me write my paper. Something that I have never thought about is how the paper is a conversation between the reader and writer. Both people already have opinions on the topic, but the point is to convince the reader why your opinion is the better of both. I liked how on page 5 the book says to create a log of all the research you have done. That will help me keep my thoughts organized, and information easy to access. This chapter helps us in our class this week by starting us off in the right direction as soon as we choose a topic to stick with.

Selecting a Topic

1) I would like to pick a topic based on something related to:

• Swimming
• Singing
• New cancer treatments

2) A past assignment I did not enjoy doing was to write a mythical story based on something that happened to me in real life. I chose a story of when I was in Italy with my family, and I could not figure out how to twist it into a fantasy. I ended up changing it up so much that the assignment (to me) did not resemble the original story at all. But in the end I got a good grade on it and my teacher enjoyed reading it. Rather than just sticking it out I could have picked a different story to use that would have been easier to change into a fairy tale, but I wouldn't have gotten the same knowledge out of it.

3) On Google I looked up "new cancer treatments" and many articles came up. Some were news articles, and others were cancer societies' take on the treatment. I think that it was a mix between college worthy resources and un-worthy resources. On Wikipedia I looked in the reference section and there were a lot of cancer and health organizations' articles came up, and some of the references on Wikipedia had a reference page of their own.

http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/our-research/our-research-by-cancer-subject/our-research-on-clinical-trials-and-new-treatments

Some of the articles I skimmed would not count for a paper, but they help me get a better idea of what I am researching.
