D#6 HW#6 Search a Variety of Resources

1)What kinds of resources could you use in the invention stage of your research process? Could you look a blogs to help refine your research question? Could you browse news-related Web sites to search for ways to focus your research? Would browsing through recent periodicals help you think through your topic? Look through the different kinds of resources listed in this chapter and write down a few that might be useful as you plan your research and writing.
*I could look at blogs to see what other people are writing about. News-related web sites would be a good way to see what specifics people are concerned about related to a specific topic. Periodicals are another way to find out what peoples opinions are and general facts. Podcasts seem like a pretty cool way to find out new info about my topic, it is new and innovative so i would naturally assume there would be some fun facts to learn and tell there.

2)Where might you find the most authoritative, persuasive resources that will help you answer your research question? What kinds of static, syndicated, and dynamic resources might you search for?
Honestly I think some of the most valuable info will come from peoples blogs, and debates people have had online over the topic of sex-education in schools. I like the idea of podcasts for a syndicated resource, web sites for static resource (not sure there are many book written on this topic) and social networking sites for dynamic resources.

3)How will you evaluate the credibility of the resources that you find? What criteria will you use to determine if they are persuasive, reliable resources? Consider your rhetorical situation and compare it with what you know about your resource: Who wrote it and when; how and when it was updated or revised; how is was reviewed and by whom?
I will check the date of publication, when it was last updated, .... (the things listed in the ?)
