This Too, Is Research

Melissa Goldthwaite is the author of this reading that details 5 different ways to tell research. In her Research for Inspiration, she talks about how researching familiar things, can be interesting in and that of itself. She mentions different types of medias such as newspapers and the importance of their headlines and creativity that could be pulled from newspapers themselves. Another example she gives is how the outfit a woman is wearing or a phrase from an ad on a bus, could cause inspiration to people. Some questions she asks in this section is "Where else could you find such a choice of professions...", "Whats in your garbage?", etc. She brings up the reasoning of your sources of inspiration and where to find them.

In the section, Researching for Learning, she talks about the ways learning information and research can and do coincide with each other. Some examples she gives include just how when people went out doing research for their topic, they came back knowing and being more educated on more things than they though they would be. There are no questions in this section, but Melissa does tell her readers to research and keep researching for all sorts of information, and to see what they get out of it.

The one I used the most for my last project would be the Researching for Learning one. I learned alot from doing research for my project one, and I tried recreating that with my project three to let readers get new information that they may have not known before.
