Analysis

In this week's reading I have learned the following: 

-You do not have to read from beginning to end but let your eyes glance over the sentences. This way thought me how to read a scholarly article in a way that can help my comprehension while saving me some time. 

-Before I begin reading, I must be sure to have a clear topic statement or research question in mind. 

I learned about the different sections in an article like the one in the video and I have also been inspired to carry out a survey to include as a primary source from

My Survey

I found this week's reading to benefit me the most as I understand how to read a scholarly article and I have also done lots of research on the Matrix method and at last I finally understand it. I have filled up the chart in an Excel spreadsheet and I find it so much easier to store the information I need in an organized layout. 

My Matrix

I am currently working on my 6th source mentioned in the Harvard Reference in this blog post.

I research articles on the internet through Ecosia and I copy and paste them into a Miro board for me to go through each article and pick the most reliable one.  

My aims for the following week is to start writing my first draft.
