I have already started doing research for my research paper. I have chosen to write about the Three gorges Dam in china and the existing dilemma that it brings; the extensive amount of damage it has brought not only to the environment but to the the people in the basin area. I have a large interested in China and I think this topic would be very interesting for me to write about. I have found a lot of success finding dependable sources on this subject on the byu website and the links found thereof. I first plan on making an outline for my topic. After I make the outline for the my paper, I will gather as much information as possible. After deciding what sources have more information than others and what sources are the most dependable I will start marking the more important points in the articles. Again, I will revise my outline and starting writing my paper. I will just continually write my frist rough draft and try not to lose tract of thought. Everytime I write a paper and lose tract of what I'm saying, it is difficult to pick up were I was. I need to stay focused and motivated to get it done. Once the rough draft is done, I will edit it myself, then have several peers edit it. After my peers have edited it, I will take my paper to the writing lab. Finally, a final draft will be written and handed in.
