opular sources vs. scholarly sources
In preparation for this assignment, I was able to use Pinterest as a way of research and learned that depending on research topic, that Pinterest and popular sources may be an acceptable way to support an argument. These sources are what I used in my comparison to the popular sources that can be found on Pinterest. My Exploratory draft three explores how popular sources can be useful in supporting an argument: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_rmoHln OZ5V17pCnADboyjJFrMrdW0pB2ac4eGOxm00/edit?usp=sharing.

The last aspect of this learning experience involved learning about sentences, sentence structure, and how use of punctuation allows for sentences to be grammatically correct.
