Gender sports freaks

    This woman who was born with a condition that gives her an athletic advantage over "normal" women (so she is kind of a "freak" in that sense) but her case is resulting in lots of rhetoric that tests our ideas of the boundaries/definitions of gender and sex.

    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.

    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.

    Here are some tips to help determine the credibility of a source, like the exercise we did in class Tuesday. This will come in handy as we are researching for our subcultures. Also, this website wikihow is a content farm like Yahoo! Voices, which we also talked about in class.

British Naturism - Homepage - 0 views

    British Naturism is the representative body for Naturists in the UK. I want to share my subculture with the group and some of the research that I am doing. Just a heads up, there are naked people on this site! If you want to know a little more about naturism, take a look. Under the campaigning drop down tab you can find what Naturists are all about. I think many people are grossed out or laugh at nudists but as I research them I am realizing that there are many things that they stand for that I agree with. Check it out!

    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!

    This was really helpful! I will for sure be looking back at this when I am writing my paper and citing sources.

    I found this article very interesting and relevant because the rhetor brought in many sources to look at both sides of the argument being discussed. Another thing I noticed was everything that was said was backed up by a creditable source.

    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.

I thought that this was good example of practicing good analysis skills. This is a analysis of one of Obama's speeches.
