Jeanie is writing an argumentative paper against the implementation of a school uniform policy for students at her school. she is in the research step of the research process and gathering information. for her resources, she is allowed to use two websites. the second site that she clicks on is about uniform debate, and it contains a poll. her first impression of the site is that it does not look very professional. there are misspellings and grammatical mistakes. the author of the site (though she cannot find the author’s name anywhere) is very opinionated and gives outlandish reasons why uniforms should not be utilized. describe what jeanie is experiencing in her research.

The resources and researches are very important in an argumentative essay as they will be the scaffolding of the paper. In the argumentative essay, the writer has to take a stand on the issue by incorporating logical, relevant and credible source. For these reasons, I consider that this second web site is not suitable because of the given characteristics. The presence of the name of the author of the research is important in order to find out if he/she is qualified to conduct a research about this topic and to investigate about his/her educational background and experience in the field. In addition, the author´s name is crucial in order to introduce a quote in the argumentative essay, if it is necessary. Finally, the vocabulary and grammatical error of the author determine if the researcher is a qualified writer and if he /she has  worked deeply in the research. Besides, the interviewer, should not use informal style, strong language to express his/her opinion or express his/her opinion in a non-emotional way.
