Envision Chapter 4 by Clint Kearney

Chapter 4 in Envision discusses the whole act of Planning and proposing research arguments. If you are doing a argument paper then there is going to be a lot of research taking place. For one, you have to find an article or image or concept that you want to defend and then you have to research about the different viewpoints and beliefs on the particular topic. When you begin your research, the questions that you ask will be vague and general and surface level. But, as you progress into the finer points of your paper. It is a good idea to keep a research log to keep you organized so you will know where to look up different information you have found. It is also good to brainstorm your ideas using a bubble tree to get your mind going. Once you are closing up your ideas you need to narrow down your topic to one sturdy argument that you are most interested in and can get the most information and great resources for.
