Concept- Ch.6
In chapter 6, I found the concept of “examining your own experience” very useful. It explains when choosing a topic, you can associate the topic to your own experiences. I find most times it can be hard to think of what to talk about and how to prepare for the research, so the book also suggested to jot down some words that related to the topic or to just make a list of what you do know about the topic. This will help lead me to finding better sources. From what I understood, keywords can really help my research. Also, how I learned it, so from where I learned about the topic. So its original source can assist me know where to look for more information.

Hello hfon27! Yes, keywords can be crucial to research. If you get stuck, you can always talk to a librarian to find out what key words for your topic you should be looking for. Are the topics you chose for the speeches in this class ones that you have experience with?
ReplyDeleteAlso, what kinds of sources are you going to use for this speech? Other than internet of course?
