Blog about sources

When I am writing a paper for English 101, or any class that I have to do research papers for a lot of work goes into it. Not only do you have to pick the topic but then one has to find good sources that are balid to include in the paper. When I pick resources I look mainly at two major things. One is who the source is written by, and is it actually academic? Another is if the information makes sense and how easy it is to understand. Once I've found the best sources I try to include quotes into the paper where they won't be just thrown into it. They have to flow along with the information I have already presented. The way I could improve my method for finding sources that are the best is to find more than just the minimum needed. By reading through more sources I can find the very best information I need to prove my point of my paper. Recently for this new paper I have improved my sources already. I read quite a few and found the ones that I thought could be back my argument up. I mainly look for online journal articles or valid websites becasue they are very convenient to find. However, I have found that that may not be the best way to find sources.
