Research Reflection

When I was doing the process of finding scholarly sources it was making me mad because I had a hard time finding sources that had fit my topic. I had changed my topic so many times that it was making me really frustrated. I had done two research papers in high school, but it was nothing like I had to do for this paper. So compared to this research paper from high school I had lots to learn.

          What I learned while doing this research paper was how to find scholarly sources and what they actually were. This was the first time I actually had to use scholarly sources and how to use them. I also learned what an annotated bibliography was and how to do them for our research paper. The process of this research paper took me a long time to do because I wanted to make sure I was doing it properly. Things like this paper gave me such a hard time with it because I had no clue what I wanted to do, but once I came down to my topic it got a little easier.

          When I was conducting my research I learned that it made my research paper better because of the quotes I was using. The sources I used for my research helped me get ideas on topic sentences for my main focus on each paragraph. The sources helped me to gather information to support my topic and the point I was trying to make. Learning how to conduct the research that was helping me make my point get across made me learn about research itself. Overall, this research was really hard for me because of finding sources that work for my paper and trying to make it a good one.
