Step 2:   Cry about it
Step 3:   After Steps 1 and 2, I think about a topic that would interest me. If we have the option for any topic like we did in class recently, I brainstorm about things that I love and pick one of those as a topic. 
Step 4: Once I think of a topic, I like to narrow the subject down in order to have a better grasp on the concept. ]]> 2021-09-27 02:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ajcrocke/h9oohzq585f4btnh/wish/1769702544 ajcrocke https://padlet.com/ajcrocke/h9oohzq585f4btnh/wish/1769717218 The social sciences are dedicated to examining society. Whether that be through economics, political science, or psychology, they help to further understand society. In class, we listed various types of social sciences as a way to further imagine all the ways we could examine using the social sciences. ]]> 2021-09-27 02:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ajcrocke/h9oohzq585f4btnh/wish/1769717218 ajcrocke https://padlet.com/ajcrocke/h9oohzq585f4btnh/wish/1769736546 I like to begin by using a cite like google scholar or jstor to narrow my search topic. I like to use keywords to find exactly what i'm looking for. With the amount of articles on the internet, it can be difficult to find the right ones. Ms. Caraway taught us in class to first read the description of the article before clicking and reading the whole thing. This helped me a lot because I tend to spend way too much time looking through articles. ]]> 2021-09-27 02:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ajcrocke/h9oohzq585f4btnh/wish/1769736546 ajcrocke https://padlet.com/ajcrocke/h9oohzq585f4btnh/wish/1769752625 I like to look on databases like jstor because I know I can trust them to be scholarly. I have also recently started using google scholars after it being recommended to me in a peer review in ENG 101. ]]> 2021-09-27 02:41:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ajcrocke/h9oohzq585f4btnh/wish/1769752625 ajcrocke https://padlet.com/ajcrocke/h9oohzq585f4btnh/wish/1769764651 The "Web Page Credibility Checklist" that Ms. Caraway showed us is a great way to check for a quality source. A good source consists of factual, well-written information that usually comes from a .gov or .edu webpage. It is always a good thing if the site's main goal is to provide information rather than to share an opinion. ]]> 2021-09-27 02:46:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ajcrocke/h9oohzq585f4btnh/wish/1769764651 ajcrocke https://padlet.com/ajcrocke/h9oohzq585f4btnh/wish/1769768647 I like to find one or two things that sources have in f=common in order to connect them in an essay. By connecting ideas in different sources, it shows the reader the significance of the idea as a whole. ]]> 2021-09-27 02:47:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ajcrocke/h9oohzq585f4btnh/wish/1769768647 ajcrocke https://padlet.com/ajcrocke/h9oohzq585f4btnh/wish/1769776508 One thing I have noticed is that I am more excited to work on English due to our ability to have our own topics. In high school I was never able to pick a topic that interested me. My teachers always gave us specific topics that could not be interpreted in different ways. I really like that I have the ability to learn more about a topic that I already know I will enjoy. ]]> 2021-09-27 02:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ajcrocke/h9oohzq585f4btnh/wish/1769776508
