·        My Research Process:

o   My process is pretty self explanatory. I can finish my process in about 5 steps

§  1. Come up with a topic. Be sure to start broad and narrow it down. Broad topics are easier to write, but look bad and are boring to read. When you narrow it down to the cue, you sometimes will get a very interesting topic.

§  2. Come up with some sources. Be sure to find professional sources. Not fake propaganda websites that are super biased. Make sure to find a .gov or .edu or a website that is very unbiased and just provides the facts.

§  3. Scan the sources for interesting facts. If you find something interesting write it down. If it stands out to you then it will most likely stand out to someone else.

§  4. Be sure to write an outline for your essay. Make sure for each paragraph you have a certain thing your discussing. Then when researching find facts that pertain to that certain paragraph. It’ll make your life easier.

§  When finishing the research project, Be sure to CITE YOUR SOURCES. You should do it as you go so as not to forget your sources and plagiarize.
