Chapter 6

In Chapter 6, researching for advocacy and argument, it mainly explained how advocacy can come from research. AS you research, you can learn issues and organizations to which you are going to advocate with. If you wanna advocate something, you need to have solid points to back up your claim. Research also adds depth to what is already known. Int he chapter, many strategies were given for research. The most important thing i got out of the chapter is developing an initial question for your research. "One way to develop a statement of purpose for a research paper is to get very clear about the question you want to research. Combining this question with audience and context can help you develop a solid statement of purpose that will help you figure out how to proceed creatively with your research." This basically explains that if you want to have a clear statement about a research paper, develop a question that can be answered through your research. Having a question in mind can help you through writing a research paper.
As this chapter explained about researching, the firs thing i thought about was the SJSU library. The library is really a good place to do research. It has everything you will need on the subject you want to research about.
