Memo #2: Searching for Scholarly Sources and Educational Research


During the course of my research, I found a few scholarly articles for my project from the RIC library database.  I feel as if each of these articles will help me better articulate my points and my research for my final paper.  Each of the articles discusses the importance of writing in schools and the best ways to keep students engaged.  The key ideas, however, articulate student viewpoints about writing and the effect on performance in the classroom.
