Recently in <Subject area> we've been studying <something specific>. At first, I thought <What were your first thoughts about this study? Look back at your first freewrite.>. When I <saw/read/played/heard...> <a specific resource> I started to think <How did your thinking shift or change?>. I know that many people feel that <what do some people say about this issue?>. After doing this study, <what do you think about this issue, now?> For example, I heard that <be specific with one expample of what you have heard.>
One thing that I know for sure about <your subject> is that <be specific>. Now I've studied my share of <Put a subject here, for example: U.S.History, Biology, Environmental Science, Religion, Philosophy, Music, Sports...>, and <make a claim about your topic. What do you believe?> Personally, it's funny to me how <explain how what you are studying is a pattern that you've noticed before.>
I did some research on <the topic>. I came across this one article: <Title and link to the article.> This article provided a lot of information and opinions on <your subject>. Some people felt that <your subject> were <summarize some facts from your article.> <Insert a quote from the article.> This <statement/statistic> didn't really surprise me all that much, but it did make me feel <emotion>. <Write 2 or 3 more sentences, expaining why you feel the way you do.>
In another source that I looked at, <Title and link to another article/video/photo series/poem/song....> there was this one statement that made me <nod my head in agreement / shake my head in disagreement> with the <writer/photographer/reporter/poet..>. It was: <Insert a second quote from the article.> This is so <true / untrue>, because <expalin why you think and why in 3 or 4 more sentences.>
All of this makes me think that <write 3 or 4 more sentence summarizing what you learned from reading these Internet sources.>
