Evidence//10
Chapter 10 goes into how to get good sources and how to include them in your paper, which is helpful, because a lot of people just randomly stick bits of other people's information in their papers without relating it to their argument. We talked about arguments in class today, and Tess made it very clear that in our research paper, we need to stick to our argument. By doing this, we can use other people's ideas and gathered information to back it up or negate it, but the argument still belongs to us. The chapter went into explaining good ways to organize your argument and how putting it a certain way may end up allowing it to make more sense to people, and become more agreeable to other people that read your paper.

Nicely written. You include good information that was stated in the text. I also like how you incorporated our class discussions into your blog.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way. I like how the chapter gave us information to back up OUR argument. I also liked the ideas chapter 10 gave with organizing the argument. It seems simple but I feel like sometimes if the organization is poor it makes the argument difficult to follow.
