Last week you read pages 49-54 (“Reading to Research”) in Mindful Writing. In this section, Brian
Jackson discusses important information regarding the research task. This is especially relevant and
practical as it applies to the research process in which you are currently engaged. Take some time this
week to reflect on this critical content. I trust you read these pages carefully last week. If not, please
read them and then complete this writing assignment. Here are the details for your short writing
assignment:
• Elaborate on 1-2 of the following prompts. They have been modified from Jackson’s “pause”
content on page 54.
o What new terms did you learn from this chapter (pages 49-54 only)?
o How did these concepts validate or challenge what you already knew?
o How does this reading connect with what you have already learned previously in this
book and elsewhere?
o What will you do differently as you move forward?
• Minimum of two full pages
o Notice this is a minimum—work for a few lines more than two pages
• MLA format
• Due on March 29. As always, I would encourage you to sketch it out, create an outline, or draw
a mind map. All of the will help you organize and create a well-developed writing that is clear
and coherent. If you did not complete the reading last week, you need to complete it before you
write this.Last week you read pages 49-54 (“Reading to Research”) in Mindful Writing. In this section, Brian
