Chapter 11 was more of the usual stuff you learn in an English class. This chapter was all about your thesis statement and how to get it to be the best it can be! It started off with reviewing your position statement to get a handle on what you have. After that step, you review notes and sources and information you have gathered so far. Then you consider your purpose in this discussion and your role. These questions are all to get a grip on your situation as it stands and to assess whether anything has changed since you began your project. If anything has changed you need to react accordingly. After that first section was the section of actually writing your thesis statement. You need to identify important information, ideas, and arguments associated with you topic. This allows you to get a better understanding of the conversation and will make your thesis better. This chapter also mentions how you will want to draft multiple thesis statements because you might not like the first one, or the second, but the third might be the thesis statement you like the most. After all this you consider what type of document you want to write so that you can begin to focus your thesis statement and make it perfect.

Bedford Researcher - Chapters 10 & 11
Chapter 10 was an interesting read in the Bedford Researcher. This chapter explained how to gather information but not in the usual ways. It involves using surveys, interviews, observation, and correspondence to collect information of your topic of choice. When considering any of these approaches, you first need to ask yourself if it is necessary to use field research methods. Will it help your product or will it detract from it? After that it becomes a lot easier. All of these methods have a lot in common. Basically, they
all run through the same steps to get the results. For an interview,
observation, or survey you plan it out, conduct the research, and then analyze
the results. This chapter provided me
with a few out of the box methods to gathering information that I might consider
using for my own project.
