Directions: this phase included several resources to support a single claim, and incorporated a definition of terms within or of your topic, as well as context. Reflect on how these different resources affected your paper, and how making the terms and history of your topic clear to your audience helped with your focus in the paper. Also reflect on how having more sources for your claim helped your writing. Did it make discussing your topic easier? If you feel that having more resources was negative, please explain why.

I think having more sources can help with backing up your claim and providing an established definition for your topic. When you are able to find multiple sources in multiple formats it adds a certain validity to your claim. On the flip side, unless your sources are small (which most of mine were not) this is a lot of information to keep track of, especially if you are using books as sources. You have to be extremely organized to keep track of all of this information and I am not quite there yet. Hopefully it will get better by the next version!
ReplyDeleteHaving more sources allowed me to expand on my topic. I am able to discuss different aspects of poverty with different sources. I felt having more than one credible source back up a claim made the paper credible. The sources did not make writing easier, but they did give me more meat for my sandwich. I feel having more sources positively impacted my paper.
