    Purdue OWL is always a site I visit when I have questions about writing. It is also super helpful when I have questions about citations. Here is "Writing a Research Paper." It may come in handy during this segment.

    I use this site often for research papers considering it is usually the expressed form to write a research paper in. It helps my writing go more smoothly and flow better in text.

    I always use this website to make sure I'm doing MLA format right.

    MLA (Modern Language Association) style is most commonly used to write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities. This resource, updated to reflect the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th ed.) I figured this will help when people start making their works cited page!
  • mittelbm on 09 Nov 14
     
    This was really helpful! I will for sure be looking back at this when I am writing my paper and citing sources.

    I thought it was nice to see how to write a research paper from a different point of view. This site also provides an itinerary for the amount of work you should put forth, of course it is not adjusted to our interval we have to work with so that must be taken into consideration. I thought this was helpful.

Why Quit Smoking - American Lung Association - 0 views

    I believe that this is rhetorical writing. With smokers being the primary audience, it seeks to persuade them to quit by informing them of all the reasons why they should stop. This article also states facts, builds community for smokers aiming to quit, etc.

    I thought this list of research tips from U.S. News is although very short, it's also very effective in describing key things to focus on during research. I especially though that #2 was a great way to look at your sources when doing the actual writing part of the paper.
  • mittelbm on 02 Nov 14
     
    I was reading some of these when I was looking for something to post this week. I thought this list was very useful and I will be using some of these tips for our paper!

    There are many types of sources that you could use in your papers (journal articles, books, newspapers, interviews, etc.), but not all of them are good sources. Good sources give you reliable, accurate information based on real research. I thought this was interesting, seeing as we are all looking for reliable resources for our explanatory essays.

    I liked how this website provided specific examples of good and bad sources.

    As many of you, I am assuming, I am finding myself on facebook or looking up videos of Taylor Swift and a screaming goat instead of writing my essay. BAD. Internet has ruined me. These are some interesting apps and websites that can help with those pesky social media traps that seem to take hours out of all our days.

    A lot of these seem like such minimal things, but they really are important. Like color schemes, small picture use, not writing lengthy paragraphs, and making it accessible to click on links.

    The definition of an information literate person extends beyond school and application to academic problems--such as writing a research paper--and reaches right into the workplace. Information literacy is also important to effective and enlightened citizenry, and has implications that can impact the lives of many people around the globe.
