This week was pretty crazy. It was the first time I was really forced to pull my head out of research gathering and start to think about how I'm going to fit it all together. The biggest difficulty I found was putting it in the format of a pursuasive essay as opposed to an encyclopedia on the wide variety of topics I've been looking at. What it finally came down to was I looked at my research question, "Based on the Current Situation in Iran; What Are Some of The Likely Outcomes, And How Will They Effect The American People?” All my research has been into the first part, the current situation. This weeks assignments forced me to take a comprehensive look at everything I'd gathered and start putting it together into the second part of my question; what are the likely outcomes and how will they effect the American people. I realized that though I could go on forever about the various factors that make up the current situation that wouldn't really answer my research question. The format I finally settled on was going straight into what I think is likely to happen and what it will result in and using the current situation to explain my reasoning. Looking at other people's blogs and replying to them helped me get an idea of how my classmates were dealing with similar issues. I looked primarily at their outlines as that gave me the best overall view on how they were structuring their arguments.
