Researching has always been strangely fun for me. I enjoyed learning about topics I care about in great detail, as well as explore others' opinions. In terms of information, I have plenty of primary sources, or what I believe to be primary sources. However, I have very few secondary sources and hope to find more. They're an essential element to the annotated bibliography and can't be ignored.
Besides the sources, my project is moving along smoothly. The groups we were assigned helped me and my sources. Not only did they correct any annotations on my paper, I also found another source. The annotations, however, need to be changed. For some unknown reason, I decided to alternate which questions to use in my annotations (the questions on the back differed from the ones in the front). This has created a major problem and I'm happy I recognized this.
Overall, I started out smoothly, finding plenty of sources with valuable information. On the other hand, I accidently ignored which types of sources they were and made a silly mistake. Hopefully in the next few days I can recover from these errors and progress through the project.
What's your topic? Just from what you've told, it seems like you have found a lot of good information for your paper! Hope it goes well for you!
ReplyDeleteOops. I guess I forgot one of the most important parts to my research. Right now, I can't tell for sure. It's revolving around technology and its effects on youth, but I intend to focus in on one topic: academically, socially, or physically. Hopefully I'll narrow it down soon.

ReplyDeleteI too share the same passion about learning different feats of history and indulging in the different P.O.Vs and opinions of certain people who impacted history in some way, shape, or form. On the other hand I am completely opposite of you. At this point I have lots of secondary sources, but few to none in terms of a primary source. I have also begun to find more probable sources, all with confirmed, solid information.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be that you have changed your topic since the last time I talked o you about it. Before I know that you wanted to do something about your religion. Did something not go well, or did the topic not work out for you? I had a feeling that you would definitely narrow it down some, but I am very interested in your new topic. I must put my two cents in as a fellow gamer and say video games don't make kids violent and angry.... lag does... This (at least in my eyes) is a somewhat true statement. I hope every thing turns out well and I can't wait to hear how it unfolds!
Well, silly me. I thought I had tons of primary sources but was wrong - most are secondary sources because I had the wrong definition in my mind. But on the last due date for our topics I switched it to "Technology and Its Effect Academically, Socially, and Physically." However, as I continued researching I eventually narrowed it down to basically only socially.
