Observation 5

So far, the research process has been going fairly well for me.  Sources off of the internet have been relatively easy to find, and many are credible sources that I can use in my research paper.  I am now organizing the resources I have found so far, and am beginning to plan out the structure of the paper, to see how I may want to format my research.  I plan on going to the library and getting at least one text reference that has much information on my topic.  Also, I am finding advertisements and commercials that would be good to include in the paper to talk about and that are influential on the public audience.  The mapping process has helped me to ask more in depth questions that could potentially be useful to making the paper more persuasive.  This process has also helped me to organize my paper in a more effective way. At first, it was difficult using this technique, since I have not used a process that is so in depth; however, it gradually became easier after beginning to use it and allowed so far for many of the main points to be made.  I think that when I begin to write the actual research paper, it will be less difficult for me because I will have the paper already mapped out with my main points and sources to back it up.
