I already started revising my paper and so far is going pretty well. It was actually easier now that I have my paper done to just go and revise and do some changes to it. We did a peer review in class the other day which was really helpful because i was able to get another person's opinion about my paper. The due date for the final draft of the paper is soon so I'm a little excited about it. Hopefully,  everything goes well with my final piece and the changes I have made to it.

These are the things that helped me throughout my research paper:

I had the same problem too, i didn't know how to transition the information from one thing to the other in order to make the paper flow. I think the easiest thing to do is to write transition words when you want to talk about something that relates or not your previous information.I found a website that helped me a lot with this problem, you should check it out is... http://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/Transitions.html

It really has a lot of information that can help you, hope this helps!

I'm finally done with my research paper! I'm so glad is finally over. I can't believe I did, it took some hard work but at the end it really paid off. I just have to do some minimum corrections and my paper will finally be good. I was actually afraid of what the teacher was going to think about my paper but thank God everything went well and my paper is not as bad as I thought, i just have to keep working on it. Hopefully my final draft will be better than my first...

I'm almost done with my research paper! but the thing is that I'm just missing one more page and I have no idea what else to write about. I feel like this topic is too complicated because you can take different approaches as to why is there a conflict between the Shiites and Sunnis. But i feel like if I talk about more things than the one I'm already talking about, my paper will take a different approach (idk if I explain myself well but hopefully you understood). I'm trying to research things that are related to what I'm talking about but I'm not convince yet if I should write about that...

I already started doing my research paper and so far is going pretty well. I thought it was going to be harder actually but thank God is not. My only concern is that I'm not sure if the sources I'm finding are reliable because I can't find many academic articles that talk about the Shiites and Sunnis' conflict. I do find a lot f newspaper articles tho but they basically just talk about the civil war in the Middle East. I'm also planning on getting the paper finish by this weekend so hopefully everything goes as I plan.

Research process so far

I did my outline for the research paper and now i have a clearer idea as to how to organize my paper and the main points I'm going to talk about. However, I'm struggling to find a good thesis for my paper since i feel that this topic is a little bit complicated for some reason. I've been trying to write some ideas but i don't know how to consolidate them into a single sentence. This process has just become harder and harder. I also feel like i don't have enough information to support my main point of view about the two sects which is conflict over political power. I feel like the sources I find all say the same things in different words but i hope as I keep researching this process gets easier... I can only hope though.
