Document Summary

English 119 week 7 lecture: research skills and effective style. In the english 119 team project, it will be important to apply your research findings: to discover what practical use you can make of those ideas in a new context. This will partly involve establishing validity, critically analyzing the research, and keeping your ideas about the information distinct from the information itself. Expanding your search: when doing keyword searches to find research sources, make sure you use alternative word choices and phrasings; use synonyms and related concepts. For example, for searches for research sources related to education, use also words like classroom, teaching, lesson planning, and others. Your persuasiveness depends on the credibility of your sources and your ability to work with the information. In other words, you will need to comment on and apply the information. For this reason, you need to use a strategy to keep your ideas distinct from the ideas of others.
