Critical Thinking Reflection #1

  1. How did you decide what information was most important for the draft? It was quite easy to pick out what was and wasn’t important when forming this draft. There is not alot of information to obtain, yet the only thing you could do is go deeper in the criteria. 
  2. Why did you decide to “leave out” certain information? How did you make these rhetorical decisions? Like stated above, there was not THAT much information to it, so I tried to include everything I could do research on rather than leaving things out. 
  3. What were the steps for your research in this draft? I had to come up with what I wanted to research, how I was going to get information on it, get credible sources, and then proceed to gather the information. 
  4. What assumptions/biases did you bring to the research? How did you work to contextualize and check these assumptions/biases? The only assumptions that I made were that the Humane Society was able to provide the majority of their animals with homes, so in order to make sure this was a fact, I had to look on their website/ websites to make sure that what I was assuming was correct. 
  5. How did you work with facts, observations, and so on, in order to form an argument? I had to find credible sources that provided my information, and then provide examples on why I thought this was an important topic.
  6. What information are you still searching for to help your research? To help my research, I am still looking for more statistic information on the Humane Society. I want more information on not how many animals are rescued but how quickly and how well these animals are kept after being adopted, I would also like to know how well each Humane Society does compared to other locations.
