What Is It We Do When We Write Articles Like This One-and How Can We Get Students To Join Us?
SUMMARY: I his article ‘What Is It We Do When We Write Articles Like This One-and How Can We Get Students To Join Us?’ Michael Kleine attempts to explain how to research, with the help of his colleagues. They provide a method of research, and the results of it to show how it worked. This article was directed towards college and high school students. He argues that students should have a method to doing research, and should do it a correct way. He notices that the students were just transcribing sections of text into their own writings.
BEFORE YOU READ:
My friend and I both had the same recent experience writing using sources. Our senior year we had to do a research paper. We had to look up information on specific websites, and watch movies and use information from those sources in our paper. Our English teachers gave us a website and told us which search engines to use. I mostly took quotes from the websites and movies that applied to my opinions of the topic.
QD:
1.Kleine is talking about research papers, which every student should be able to relate to. I’ve had to do a research paper at least once every year at school since I can remember. In the beginning when he talks about the kids in the library not really doing research just copy and pasting information, it kind of reminds me of myself when I was young. Before I got to High School I didn’t fully understand the idea of a research paper, I would just take information and use it without making it my own. Over the years I have learned how to do research papers, because I have had some good teachers who made us do our papers step by step
4.I would put more thought into my research. I would think more about what I was looking for, before I just went looking for it. I would get more involved with personal stories. I would interview people, to get information from a direct source. I would influence my work by what I heard from others, as Kleine said.
OPINIONS: Personally I didn’t think this article was that interesting. I feel like he drug out his research process too much. It made me lose interest, like I was reading the same thing the whole time. It might be helpful because it stressed how you should interview people and how it helps your research process. The ideas compare to my own experiences because I’ve done research in the past, and I’ve had experiences where I needed to do interviews. I agree that interviews are important and you can get some of the best information from them because using personal experiences can make any article better.
