Journal 3 Chapter 21

When writing a paper you need to have reliable resources. Check out the author, the genre, audience it is for, purpose, and angle of vision. One persons perspective of the subject could differ from my own. Take very good notes that you can use on the side margins of the article then explore the notes in more depth and write them underneath. When quoting someone restate in your own words is important or you could be in hot water. When using the web keep in mind that there may be different views on each site. Anyone can make a web page so look for authority, disclosure of advocacy, coverage, accuracy, and currency. Many people put what ever they want on the internet just for giggles, make sure the source is good. When doing a paper do the works cited first so you know you have valid information to get your assignment done. Then take informative notes and then exploratory notes. That way you can remember how you felt about the information you were given.
