This, Too, Is Research

Two sections that Melissa talks about is "Research for Inspiration" and "Research for Writing". When she talks about Research for Inspiration she means inspiring yourself through personal experience to create a great piece of writing. An example she uses explaing what creative method writer Juliet Williams, which is using the phone book to help create the characters and helping get a better understanding of each of the characters. No questions were asked in this section. In Research for Writing Melissa tells the reader of the passage to keep a notebook for observations, this can later help conduct your research. An example that Melissa uses is her preferred action of digging through a shoebox of memories. These memories contain details of events and inspire something to write. Even though there was not a question asked in the text, I believe a good question for this passage would be "how can we find inspiration for writing in our daily lives?"

Which one of these did you use most for your last project? -For my last project I used research for writing and research for learning.

Give an example of research you did for each of your genres.

For both genres, I used reliable sources and used outside resources such as my interview with Nadia Nixon, who actually works in the field.
