Blog #20

1.  What are the strengths your writing for the introduction?  What do you need to work on? 
What are the strengths of your writing for the review of the literature?  What do you need to work on?



  • I feel that my introduction is slightly vauge and lacks certain details. When I wrote it, I was trying to not give away my entire arsenal of points that I was going to be making throughout the paper.  


2. What is the research problem identified in your introduction?  How do you point out what your research project will contribute toward resolving this "problem"?  In other words, what have you written about  the importance of your project for writing studies?


  • believe the topic of cell phones are very important, due to the fact that almost every child over the age of 14, most likely has a cell phone. The problem identified is that more and more people are becoming reliant on cell phones to do simply everyday tasks. I'm focusing on the effects of having mass convenient all around us, and how people react when things aren't as convenient 


3. What have other researchers found out about your topic that is relevant to your research project?


Other researchers have found that cell phones are being "over-used" and people are "overcommunicating" a problem that has been unheard of in previous generations.

4.  How do you connect findings from question 3 to the purpose of your project?



  • I want to find specific examples, by interviewing people who have grown up without cell phones and compare it to someone who is growing up with cell phones, asking the same set of questions, and comparing the answers i get.

5.  What is your plan for finishing your introduction and literature review?



  • Keep revising and reading it aloud, so I can make sure it sounds nice and flows smoothly. At the moment I feel like it's just a bunch of points jumbled together. 

6.  What feedback do you want from me?



  • I'd like to know how YOU think I should start off my intro. The topic is so vast I'm not quite sure where to draw the readers attention to first
