more about my paper wooh!

For my paper for this class and for most of my research papers I normally come up with topics for my paper then go through all my sources and look for facts and quotes that support my topics. It normally doesn’t matter what class I am writing the paper for my method seems to be the same. My way is probably not the correct way of going about it. I think most people read through their sources first before they start on their paper but that is too much reading for me. I’d rather come up with an idea and skim to find reasonable support.

One time that really didn’t work out for me because I didn’t feel like writing a paper in high school so I used a friends paper from a different school and found an article to match it and apparently it matched it a little too well. I got a note back on my paper saying to put it in my own words. I couldn’t tell her that my paper was written before I found the article so it was in my own words because it wasn’t in MY words. Oh well.

For this paper I think I will be ok with the sources that I have. I also think I will have enough information since I am a Disney fanatic. I have plenty of movies to cite and compare to others over the years to help with my point. I also have multiple sources to back me up. Even though I normally don’t look at my sources before I start writing I defiantly make sure I have them before I start my paper.  I find if you need to search for a source when you are writing your paper you might get distracted which happens to me a lot. Well I hit my 300 word mark. Hope you enjoyed reading about my research process. Have a good weekend!
