Deadline #8 HW#1

All of the websites for this weeks reading were designed to aid in a research project process. They mainly emphasized how to develop and and support a thesis statement. The ability to conduct fair research, i.e. giving both sides of an argument was also stressed. Finally the website from writing.colostate.edu offered different sources one can use besides the conventional book and internet sources. Nothing new, but never hurts for a review. As far as this week's reading from Everything's an Argument, the best chapter was the one on thinking rhetorically. It stressed to always asks questions when writing a research paper, such as who is the audience, what is the purpose, and what are the interests involved. Chapter 6 was pretty much just an overview of the different ways you can structure an argument. My preferred way is to make a statement and then give evidence.
