Random writing tips that my history professor just told during class that are actually helpful
Download all your sources or print them so you can turn off your wifi
Give your phone to someone
Just. WRITE. Writing is analysing, you’ll get more ideas as you write. It doesn’t need to be perfect, for now you can just blurt out words and ideas randomly. You can fix it later.
Create a skeleton/structure before writing.
Stop before you get exhausted. It’s best to stop writing when you still have some energy and inspiration left, this will also motivate you to get started again next time.
Make a to do list
Work in bite sizes. Even if it’s not much, as long as you put some ideas on paper or do some editing.
Simple language =/= boring language, simple language = clear language.
Own your words. If they are not your words, state this clearly in the text, not just in the footnotes.
STOP BEFORE YOU GET EXHAUSTED. Listing it again because it’s easily one of the best tips a teacher has ever given me.

Phew, lots of stuff happening again! The paper on medieval kissing has been successfully handed in, and i feel like i can see the horizon again. Now i still have lots of things to do and read and think of, but there’s one less deadline looming above my head like a sword of damocles, and im seeing all my friends a lot, and things generally are a lot better, although I’m still struggling with some emotional stuff. Hopefully that’ll get better too.
Feeling generally positive this morning :)

A Comprehensive Guide to Writing a Research Paper
Tumblr media
Introduction
Writing a research paper may initially seem intimidating to students, but with the right guidance, it can become a fulfilling and rewarding experience. Research papers are integral to academic life as they foster critical thinking, research skills, and effective written communication. This comprehensive guide will provide step-by-step instructions, from topic selection to editing and proofreading, to help students master the art of writing a research paper.
Importance of Research Papers
Research papers offer numerous benefits to students. They promote critical thinking, research proficiency, and polished writing skills. Additionally, research papers enable students to evaluate information sources, organize thoughts effectively, and present ideas coherently. They also provide a platform for students to demonstrate their knowledge, expertise, and contribution to a particular field. Furthermore, research papers can enhance employment or graduate school applications, setting students apart from their peers.
Steps to Writing a Research Paper
Choosing a Research Topic: Select a topic that genuinely interests you and aligns with your passion. Ensure the topic is manageable within the given timeframe.
Conducting Research: Thoroughly research your chosen topic using a variety of sources, including books, journals, and reputable websites. Evaluate the credibility and reliability of each source.
Creating an Outline: Construct an outline to organize your thoughts and ideas effectively. Your outline should comprise an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
Writing the Introduction: Begin your research paper with a captivating introduction. Provide background information on the topic and explain its significance. State your thesis statement, which represents the main argument or point you will discuss in your paper.
Writing the Body Paragraphs: Present your research and evidence in the body paragraphs to support your thesis statement. Dedicate each paragraph to a specific point or idea, employing relevant evidence. Use transitional phrases to ensure a smooth flow between paragraphs.
Writing the Conclusion: Summarize your main points and restate your thesis statement in the conclusion. Additionally, offer a final thought or idea to leave a lasting impact on the reader.
Editing and Proofreading: Thoroughly edit and proofread your research paper multiple times to eliminate grammatical errors, typos, and ensure clarity and conciseness. Verify that your arguments are well-supported.
Finding a Research Partner
Benefits of Having a Research Partner:
Shared workload and task division.
Feedback and idea exchange.
Learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses.
Mutual accountability and motivation.
Tips for Working with a Research Partner:
Choose a reliable and committed partner.
Assign tasks based on individual strengths.
Set deadlines and hold each other accountable.
Maintain regular communication and provide constructive feedback.
Be open to criticism and willing to make necessary changes.
Conclusion
Writing a research paper may present challenges, but it also offers substantial rewards. By following the outlined steps and utilizing the tips provided, students can develop the skills necessary to write an outstanding research paper. Remember to select a topic of personal interest, conduct thorough research, create a comprehensive outline, and meticulously edit and proofread the final paper. Additionally, when collaborating with a research partner, choose someone who is reliable and committed. Best of luck on your research paper writing journey!

How to Improve International Students Writing
If you're teaching English to international students, it's vital that you understand their language and writing styles. Despite the cultural differences, it's possible to present your writing assignments and expectations in a way that is clear to your students and their audience. One problem many international students face is that their writing assignments are difficult to understand or may even require them to write in a way that does not meet word counts. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to correct your students' mistakes and improve their writing.
The first step is to make sure that you're explicit about your expectations and model good writing for your students. Also, make sure to share examples of your own good writing, and alert students to any problems they're having with their writing. The second step is to provide resources for students to refer to. For example, you can assign short, ungraded writing assignments early in the term, which will help you identify students who might need more assistance with their writing. You can also provide a space where international students can ask you for the definitions of words or phrases they don't understand.
A good resource for international students is the International Students Writing Guide to Research Paper, which is a companion to The ESL Writer's Handbook. It has discrete writing tasks, called "Building Blocks," that will help students construct their own knowledge and write better research papers. Using Building Blocks can make the process of writing a research paper much more manageable and enjoyable.
A second way to improve the writing skills of international students is to offer more writing workshops. Writing workshops are similar to the Writing the Essay course, except that they are smaller, with more time to complete curriculum. These courses are taught by international teachers who have extensive experience teaching ESL students, including the cultural differences and writing style expectations of international students. Incorporating international students into the classroom creates a dynamic environment where global perspectives are exchanged. This can be very exciting for international students.
International students with poor writing skills often don't take English lessons in their schools. It's vital to improve their writing skills, and writing workshops are an excellent way to improve your English writing. Attending writing workshops or writing classes is a great way to get personalized attention from an English-speaking instructor. A writing workshop can also be an excellent way to learn more about English grammar, word choice, and usage.
Despite the fact that international students may be unaware of their immigration status, it is a good idea to disclose it to your potential employer. You can do this at the beginning of your interactions or at the end. Just make sure to respond honestly when asked.

The Barbie movie reminded me about how when I was little my parents were upset that I kept making my Barbie dolls kiss, so they bought me a Ken doll. The next day they found me having a funeral for poor Ken in the garden, he had died of tuberculosis. All the Barbies were in attendance and I buried him under our rose bush. The Barbies were too poor to afford a headstone (it was 1875) so I didn’t mark where the grave was and I never could find him again. He’s probably still there.

i love graffiti. "comics and jazz are the only american art forms" you forgot graffiti. did you remember graffiti? That art form birthed in Philly and NYC in the early 70s by poor Black kids. that art form that spread all over the world and influenced so many. that's used without irony in commercials when they're trying to appeal to a "young urban" customer.
did you forget graffiti? that racism broken windows theory victim? that reach the establishment takes claiming that it's exclusively violent gang members throwing up those full-color pieces and wildstyle tags in the middle of the night outsmarting fifty security cameras because the billboard was ugly anyway. as if, even if it was, it wouldn't be impressive as all hell. risking brutality and fall damage so your art can occupy the space a gentrified condo named something like "Coluumna" took away from you. proving that despite only assholes affording to live here anymore there's still a soul beneath it. an animal with dripping stripes and teeth that go clack-clack tsssss

As expected, yesterday was lovely, but unfortunately that means today i need to catch up with my work before it can swallow me with guilt. The flowers help tho 🌷
What needs to be done:
- continue with the medieval kissing paper
- do some more research on 20th century english lit for the retake exam
- exercise in the evening
Should be doable, hopefully. Tomorrow will be a busy day for other reasons, so let’s get going!
