Discussion Post
After reading your assigned chapter from Bad Ideas About Writing, explain what possible research questions you might explore related to your chapter. Help your classmates understand the chapter's major points. Use the six-step process for summarizing sources:
Question I. Actively read the original source.
Question II. Re-read the source while underlining or highlighting key claims/points.
Question III. Without looking back at the source, state each of the major claims/points in a sentence, in your own words.
Question IV. Select a quotation or example from the source that will give readers part of the "flavor" of the original.
Question V. Describe the context of the source: author, date, research methods, publication, information -- anything that will be relevant for readers.
Question VI. Put everything together into a reasonable, straightforward order.
