Summaries:

In Swales' article "Create a Research Space", he aims to introduce writers to a way to make a model for researching. Swales brings an agruement of several examples of how to start the "space" by claiming, making,  or reviewing ideas. He then supports the foundation with pointing out the hole of an agruement, then concludes with filling said hole. With these steps as building blocks for writers to begin their works, they learn to think for themselves and draw on previous works to support them.

In Greene's piece, he explains how to "frame a work" and also how to make your writing a conversationalist piece. He supports how to do this with several inputs on identifying issues, situations, and finally framing the question. He also supports his work with other works, by Burke, Rodriguez, Hoggarts, and a student's work.



Before you read:
Agruement: a word that has not only a positive definition but also a negative aspect. An agruement could be between people with a violent or dissatisified undertone. But it also can be seen positive and supportive, it is based on the tone of the works or idea. It is used both ways in everyday conversation. It can be misunderstood in some conversations. But in an acedemic setting, it is in the positive setting, and is used as an synonym for a students belief of a topic.

  1. I liked the way that you described an argument. Many times people forget that argument is not a negative word, it can be very beneficial. It depends on the people and their moods to really determine whether or not the argument turns into a negative occurrence. I never looked at in the way of being supportive, but now that you said that, I can see why you used that word.
