From Which Angle?



When I say angle I don’t mean what angle from the triangle, I mean we aren’t in math so if you thought this ummm yeah ill remind you again we’re in ERW guys.  When I say from which angle I mean, from where do we start writing our research paper? How do we start?  Do we tell a story regarding our topic or do we address the problem right off the bat.  The other day when we did a quick right and were asked to start talking about our topic, preferably our first paragraph, right away my table started asking the inevitable question, “How do we start a research paper?”  Unable to think of a quick response I just shook my head and shrugged my shoulders.  So now I was stuck.  I didn’t know how I was going to start off that’s acceptable.  I began writing that day however.  I started with a story and was about to follow up with the details and the dilemma, that is before the bell rang.  But that’s how I somewhat always start my papers.  I love telling stories that later connect with my topic, but I’ve been told at times it’s unnecessary and honestly I feel like this time it’s one of them.  So if you guys are feeling this way too, high five!!!!  You aren’t alone.  What we need to do is just ask our teachers, family members, and friends for some advice.  But the ultimate thing to do is of course DRAFTS DRAFTS DRAFTS!

  1. I totally understand how you feel and I never really know at what angle ever to approach my research topic or any essay for that fact. It wasn't until recently that I did discover my method of writing and surprisingly it was something I did a research on. It's pretty simple it's just to write, to do nonstop free writing about your topic take a break circle some stuff you found interesting in what you wrote and write about it or just continue to write about you were writing. If you get an idea write it down just constant writing for about an hour or less depending how much you can take and then take a break and come back to what your wrote and go off from there I can guarantee you it will work
