Due on Tuesday at Midnight

Research and writing are both intellectual processes. You begin by asking questions, then search for answers, sometimes you find them, and in the finding (or not finding)answers you discover new questions to be answered. Writers move in a similar cyclical pattern, from planning what they will write, to composing, to evaluating what they have written and then back again to making new plans for revising their work. Research paper writing interconnects these processes. There is much to be gained by encouraging the interaction of researching and writing from the very beginning. Research writing is the ongoing search for better questions, better answers, and better ways to communicate found answers.

Have fun -- and do your research!


Please note that you must read the 2 websites that have been added to the links section of your blog. Write a 2 paragraph summary after having used window-box notes to gather information. Please be sure to include several questions you have after reading the sites. Ask someone to read your response before posting. I will grade for 1 - capitalization; 2 - three questions included in your response; 3 - vary word choices.
