Doing
a more formal "school oriented" research
project is quite similar to the research experience just described
about buying a car.
Let's apply some of that research attitude to a researched paper
in ENGL 100 or ENGL 101.
Here is a typical research assignment in ENGL 100 or ENGL 101:
| Write a 6-8 page informative paper on a topic that interests you. You need to use at least six sources, four of which must be from scholarly books and articles. The paper is due in six weeks. |

In my looking for information for my car in a car magazine, I read about emission rates of different cars. I got to thinking how important these rates might be in deciding on a car, since I'd heard a discussion about global warming on TV. And last winter we've had weird weather Northern Virginia—like a warmer-than-usual winter with almost no snow. Some people blaming global warming but others say it is just "normal climatic variation"—whatever that means.
