Incorporating Sources Effectively (Keith, Zach, Rachel)

According to Daniel Craig, “Educational and clinical use of this study might include the determination of meaningful music for an individual or population, or ratification and review of existing activities at an individual or group level”(67).


In the article written by Daniel Craig, he states, “Cantor and Zillman [men whom took a part of the experiment] (1973) demonstrated that emotional arousal prior to music listening resulted in an increase in the appreciation of the music as compared with situations where no arousal took place. This suggests a direct relationship between emotional arousal and a degree of meaningfulness (as measured by ‘‘appreciation’’), even when the emotional reaction did not occur in response to the music”(59). This suggests that music can often elicit an emotional response.


Craig also quoted others who found similar results. He quotes in the Nordic Journal of Music Therapy, “He [Panskepp] demonstrated that subjects reported having the most emotional reactions to music that was familiar to them” (59). This implies that music does elicit responses, even when tested differently.

“Based on the reports …  [researchers assumed] that emotional reactions are prevalent enough in this population to be studied, as well as memorable enough to be accurately described by self-report measures”(60).

"Big Picture"

Keith, Zach, Rachel "Big Picture"

With Google: Basic information needed to understand your topic.

With Library Database: Usually given academic writings that go into more details and give more in depth information along with data taken from experiments. 

You can use many different types of sources in order to gather the largest amount of information possible. Different types of sources i.e. video, map, visual sources will provide a great "big picture," while scholarly articles will provide good current facts and controversies that are reliable. The more kinds of different contrasting sources we tap into the better the overall report will be, especially if we are addressing all the issues that conflict on the topic.

Selecting a Topic

-Global Warming


-Forest fires on west coast

-Fisheries

(Maybe select Global Warming and use Forest Fires and Fisheries as some examples of the direct affects.)

In the past when I have had assigned topics I was not interested in, I would remain factual in my research and use many quotes briefly explaining their relation to my topic to the reader. These papers, ultimately had no voice. Reading them would have been like receiving information from a robot. There was no feeling, no personal relation to the topic. No interest expressed on my part to excite the reader. Instead of becoming monotonous I could have tried to feign interest, or become interested in a particular part of the paper and made that my main focus to really let the part that was interesting to me shine. Then I could have had at least one or two really strong paragraphs to work with and rearrange in my final draft.
