Blog 4

One interesting thing I learned from the research process is that it is very important that you have a specific question or viewpoint when looking for sources because this helps you find sources that are only about your detailed topic. If you go into the research with a broad popular topic there will be no detail and way too many different viewpoints. I learned that during the writing process breaking my writing down into sections can sometimes help tremendously because it helps me slow down a little and be more detailed and have better sentence structure. The main thing I learned about my inquiry question is that it was way to broad and original at the beginning of my research so I had to think of a specific question that targeted thorough viewpoints on my topic. One thing I learned about myself is I tend to get going to fast when writing or typing a writing assignment. I have so many thoughts running through my head and I sometimes write them all down to quickly to let them make sense. Reminding myself to slow down and sometimes breaking my writing down into sections helped with that problem.
