RR#2

       Chapter two focuses on research and the writing process.  It talks about the different types of writing processes like invention, researching, editing, publishing, and proofreading are a few. It also describes different types of research processes like identifying your topic, assessing what you know, locate and documenting resources, analyzing resources, and presenting the answer to your research.  It also gives disciplinary approaches to your research.  Chapter three focuses mainly on identifying a topic for your research paper.  It talks about analyzing the writing situation, exploring different types of topics that you can choose from, and other ideas with topic finding.  It also talks about the starting of a research proposal and the features and some examples of research proposals.

      After reading the chapter two and three from Wadsworth, I got a better feeling of what the research process would like like in English 104.  The reading helps me to really understand how the research process should go and that it is not just a straight line of lists to do.  I usually just do a set list for research but this helped me to realize that there are many different ways and that it will help me to better my research.  It also helped me to really find a way to pick a topic and not think about what topic I might want or worry about it for too long.
