Read Ariel’s summary of his research process for a research-based informative essay.

First, I analyzed information from online, academic, and print sources to support my research questions. I wrote my findings on note cards and organized my note cards by topic. After that, I read through my note cards and determined the most significant research question based on my findings. Next, I plan to create an outline for my essay based on this research question and information from my sources.

Is this an effective research process?

Yes, because Ariel is using multiple resources to form the basis of his research.
Yes, because Ariel is organizing his information before he starts writing.
No, because Ariel has not considered revising his research questions or writing new ones.
No, because Ariel has not determined how to develop his hook or his topic sentences.
