Chapter 2
Lesson for Chapter in
The Bedford Researcher
In
chapter two we learn how to really explore a topic and focus in on how to
create a plan in research. By having a plan set we can focus on the issue
itself and answer the questions that need to be asked. Our plan begins with
making a list:
·
Identify conversations with people to discuss
your issue with such as a librarian or instructor who can also help with
finding other sources. Also it helps if you can find someone that is also effected
by the issue or topic to discuss or interview for more insight. Look for
patterns in information gathered.
·
Assess your interest on the issue by your
personal connection to the topic and its importance and relevance to the community
of people you wish to read your paper.
·
Choose an issue by focusing on a topic. “Issues
are points of disagreement, uncertainty, concern, or curiosity in communities
of readers and writers.”
·
Create a list of questions to ask of your issue
·
Find resources and keep record of your findings
using; books, articles, websites, media sites and other such places. Going to
the library and using the library catalog, newsstands, bookstores and web pages
can also be helpful. (Ask about or look into EBSCO).
·
Have someone review your plan and make
adjustments accordingly
I feel that I am ready to narrow down my topics by asking
questions. Chapter two gives great insight on what questions to ask, who to ask
and where to start looking for answers.
