My research sources were from the CCNY databases. I am using articles from academic journals. These different articles support my ideas because they help me back up my points and claim. These articles support my writing work by giving me evidence that I can use from studies they did. 

Something that we have done so far that has been helpful to my writing process is the outline because I was able to plan what I wanted to write for my essay. I might apply this tool for later essays or as a blueprint for future projects I have to do. One thing that has been confusing and I would like to spend more time on is the rationale. I will research what is supposed to be a rationale for when I have to write it.
