Planning is very important

In chapter 4 of Envision the author discussed how to plan and propose research arguments. Alfano starts off by looking at propaganda and posters and asks questions about the photograph so that the writer can analyze what the picture means to them. After the reader analyzes the image they need to create a research log to get all their questions and responses down on paper. Once the writer has this step completed they need to brainstorming by creating a web or some sort of mapping in order to start getting their ideas organized. The writer then needs to narrow down their topic and create a more in-depth web so that their thoughts are pretty well organized in the sequence that they want to write their paper in.
I really like how this chapter is set up because it is very helpful to writers so that they can plan their paper out and it is much easier for them to write it. I also like how this chapter really emphasizes how important it is to plan out your paper before you write it.
