Reflective writing from one Fall 2010 English 104 class, based on class activities, discussions, and readings. As E. M. Forster once said, "How can I know what I think until I see what I say?"

Working as I read
In chapter nine WGR really talks about what I feel I have a hard time with. They really work with getting started and taking you from there. Arguing or reporting ? Thats the first question they really bring up. Taking the question they given and looking at what has been said it helps pick it apart, which I don't always find to be easy so this was very helpful. I always have most of my problems in the beginning so I liked the tips on narrowing down the research question. The one thing I still feel weak in after read this part was considering all parts of the arguments. How do you know you have covered it all. I also understand its not always a possibly to cover them all. For me as a someone who has to see everything to know where I am going in a paper the cluster map is a great help. Sometime I feel silly making one but I got to on some things. In chapter ten its always most important first. How you write your paper should be based on your audience. You really want to make sure you don't just think of one primary audience but others that it may read it if a small part applies to them. So really think who will be a reader of your research paper. Don't forget about back up all with evidence! I found it all helpful and I found my self working asI read these chapters.

I also liked the tips they gave for starting the papers. It will certainly make it easier to narrow down the research question. I also agree that it is extremely difficult to consider all sides of an argument. Hopefully, it won't be too hard!
