Reflection to Week 6

Today, in class, we discussed our ideas for our Multi-Genre Research Paper by coming up with different questions for our topics.  I originally struggled with this activity because I didn't know what kind of questions I should write down, but once I started coming up with a few, it became a lot easier to ask good questions.  We learned about different kinds of questions in class, and we categorized them into 3 groups: Nice to know, Need to Know, and Essentials Questions.  I have heard of students doing activities like this before, but I had never really learned about the three different groups. After we came up with questions for out topic, we organized our questions so that they would fit into one of the groups.  This is a good activity for students to do, so they can organize their thoughts. This activity gave me a starting point for my paper, and it pointed me in the right direction, in terms of coming up with main points and ideas to write about.
