Planning a Research Paper

Response #3
While reading Chapter 4, Planning and Proposing Research Arguments, I came to realize a lot more background work can go into something as simple as a poster or an advertisement. The text describes the need to figure out exactly what your topic and emphasis is, then what the message is by asking a question and answering it, and finish by focusing on a certain aspect proposed by the questions developed while planning. So for example, a poster of a collage of September 11, 2001, might immediately look bleak and sad to the audience, when in reality each element took time and research. Not only does this work for posters or advertisements, but research papers as well. The text advises the writer to draft a proposal when writing a research paper, as well as a three -paragraph model to help state the topic, focus, and obstacles that may be encountered. It is clear that for any good piece of published work, a lot of planning and thought must be involved.
