Prompt: Discuss your research sources. What media are you using? How do these different types of media support your topic/ideas? your writing work?

My research sources consist of a lot of studies and other research studies that have been posted on websites. These support my topic because the studies conducted on the topic of systemic racism have been done within the last few years. They support the idea that systemic racism affects the development of children because of multiple factors such as healthcare, wealth disparities, and education.

Prompt: What have we done so far that has been helpful to your writing process? How might you apply this helpful information or tool? What has been confusing or what would you like to spend more time on? If the clarification/additional focus does not occur during class time, how will you acquire the knowledge?

What has been helpful to me throughout my writing process has been starting off by creating outlines for every project I begin. It helps me gather all my thoughts in a simpler form and gives me a guideline for the rest of my writing. I would like to spend more time learning to use this skill more effectively. Reviewing this skill during class time helps clarify any questions I might have on the topic.
