Blog Post #23: This, Too, Is Research

Melissa means by Research for Details. What examples does she use? She uses a poem to show that the poem would be less significant if she didn't use details. The reader wouldn't be able to use imagery to understand the poems purpose and without details the reader might not understand the poem's language. Observations and interviews also are used as examples to show that they need detail.

What questions does she ask? "When my students hand in poems or essays about trees or birds, I pen in the margins, what kinds? Can you be more specific?" She asks these questions to express that her students need to include more details.

Melissa means by Research for Writing. What examples does she use? Notebook, research map, writing outlines, books, newspapers, emails, experience.
