Chapter 35 RR

Chapter 35 is a short chapter that discusses how to write a research paper.  It's helpful since a large portion of our grade depends on our research paper, so we need to learn how to write one correctly.

There are two ways to start a paper, the Thesis Method and the Answer Method.  The Thesis Method begins with a plan and thesis, building supporting points to make your point clear.  This is the way we are being taught how to write the paper.  The second method is the Answer Method.  It lets you just jump in and start writing.  You'll line up evidence and discover your point as you go.  This method requires more revising.  I like a plan, so the first method seems better to me.

The rest of the chapter talks about how to begin, end, and edit your paper.  It says "you might start out slowly with a clear account of an event to draw your readers into the paper."  I don't know if that's great advice though, because if you don't start out strongly, the reader might get bored and not even finish reading.
