As we begin to explore our topics, it is important to be organized and have a game plan for how we will go about our research. During the first step in our exploration we should make a list of potential people with whom we can discuss our topic, such as people who either know a great deal about our topics, librarians and those who have had involvement that relates to our topics. We should also create a list of potential places or situations where we might be able to observe something about our topics. It will be much more meaningful and organized if we create a list of questions that we begin asking people, ourselves in the situations that we observe and in our initial browsing of sources and develop a way to keep track of our findings.
The next step is to begin identifying sources that are relevant to our research and assessing whether or not they are credible. Lastly, we will begin the process of identifying the issues involved in our topics and find the one that holds our interests and has the greatest potential for being able to fulfill the requirements of our assignment.
It is nice to have this all spelled out in a step by step fashion as to how to pursue this project. I think that this will be helpful. I find that the biggest challenge that I have is just getting started and identifying a topic. Writing is not something that I get excited about, but I do understand it’s importance and that it is necessary to do well.
