Unit 3 Reflection Blog

I have found that unit 3 has been the hardest out of all the units for myself. You would think since this is just the research and analysis unit it would be pretty straight forward, but I found this challenging. However, finding the actual resources and my 3-5 sources was not difficult. I found many scholarly articles on my topic. The only difficult pat was narrowing it down to the sources that I found was most useful for my essay. The part I found most difficult was figuring out how I wanted to incorporate these articles into my writing and use them in a way that coincides with my point of view. I've never been that great at integrating quotes into my paper so I came into this unit having my doubts. However, I found that the quote sandwich videos and activities we did in class were really helpful. I ended up using these quote sandwiches in my essay as well. I also thought the "They Say I Say" chapters about integrating  quotes was very helpful. They provided me with easy to understand template on how to integrate quotes. At the end of this unit, I felt much more confident about researching scholarly articles and using quotes in my writing.
