How I plan to revise my Research paper:
1) give my paper to another person to read and revise and what they think is wrong
2) make sure all qoutes are qouted right
3) Check bibliography
4) make sure all paragraphs make sense to the main point
5) lastly I want another person besides the first one to read it after I have revised it once and to do steps 1-4 all over again just to double check!

Summary-Annotated Bibliography
Overall my annotatons were said to be written very well, I did forget to post my introdcution with my annotations so it was a bit confusing to understand the main point to my topic. I did print a version with an introduction. I think personally I need more sources of books and I did not use the school nurse as one of my annotations so I will in my final research paper. I as well think the orgnization in my annotations was a bit consfusing so I should rearrange and rephrase sentences a little bit better for understanding purposes.

Research Paper- what has been learned so far....
What I have learned so far on my research topic:
1) Starting off it was hard to find articles on my topic. I realized using short specific words when researching helped a lot.
2) I’ve decided that my real question about plastic surgery is; how plastic surgery has innovated since the beginning?
3) I found a lot of books that helped a lot as well in the library for this topic. History on plastic surgery gives a ton of information.
4) The focus on my paper is mainly on history but also beyond history why plastic surgery has turned into a must have now days from it being originally a helping factor for disfigured people.

Research Paper-Topic Consideration
Exploring Your Research Topic
If you are feeling confident in your choice of a particular topic, you may only need to write about that topic. If you are unsure, explore two or three topics by responding to the following questions:
-Plastic Surgery
Part I: Exploration
1. Identify the issue or problem that you plan to focus on in your research project.
-What are the pros and cons of plastic surgery?
2. What is your personal connection to and interest in this topic?
-I had a friend who decided to go behind her parents and get plastic surgery done. Afterwards she suffered from severe problems from the surgery.
3. What opinions do you already hold about this topic?
-I find this topic to be very important for people to read about before going to have plastic surgery done to fix things that don’t need to be altered. There is true meaning behind plastic surgery and it is not to perfect your body.
4. What knowledge do you already have about this topic?
-I know a bit about the topic not to much, I would like to get more in depth with writing this research paper.
5. What are your main questions about this topic? What are you most curious about?
-Why do people still have plastic surgery even when knowing the dangers?
-What are the exact consequences of plastic surgery?
-What seems to drive people to have plastic surgery?
6. Within what scholarly discipline (such as history, biology, and psychology) do you expect to do most of your research? How does this discipline approach or study this topic?
-Well with the topic plastic surgery all the scholarly topics up above could apply to my topic. I could research the history behind plastic surgery and when it began and how. Biology would be very involved since it involves the human body. Psychology would play a major role with are patients mentally right or wrong about plastic surgery-to even the texts they perform before and after surgeries to make sure patients mind sets are adequate.
7. How could you research this topic outside the library (for example, through interviews?
-I don’t think I could do interviews but maybe the internet would have interviews posted about this topic. Plastic surgeons don’t like to sit down and talk negatively about the work they do and perform.
And/or observations)?
-Observations would be a key component because there is tons of an observation on the internet and in books about people who have had plastic surgery and who have not.
Part II: Focusing
Write an initial claim, or an open-ended question, to guide your research on this topic. Make it specific but exploratory. Remember that a good claim opens up an area of inquiry about a topic; a claim should invite evidence, support, and debate.
- Is plastic surgery really worth it in the end?
