1)
I) One approved thesis
II) Gather list of potential subtopics/arguments that will become topic sentences (one per paragraph)

III) Details/Quotes: one or two pieces of evidence from a source, usually word for word “within quotes,” with citation [credit to where you got it from]
*Then you try to figure out which subtopics/arguments you will keep, which details/quotes can match under each.
1)Not all arguments work
2) Some arguments won’t work because you can’t find supporting quotes
3) Some arguments are weakened by bad wording or use of emotive adjectives: ‘vicious murderers,’ ‘cunning conspirators and greedy bankers who drew the anger and claws of the American eagle when they killed their fellow Americans by booby-trapping the World Trade Center to start a war for a few coins’
How to find sources for each of the three possible thesis:

B. Book/Ebook: Best for in depth understanding of topic as a whole
Good for finding this type of information: quotes, examples, theories, ideas, concepts, understanding of specific subtopics
TECHNIQUES: TOC, index, reviews and ‘search inside’ (eg on Amazon), ebook search, books.google.com
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS: Check publisher: avoid Vanity Press (author pays to publish himself)
C) ebooks – searchable!
D) books.google.com
Clever google books search (books.google.com )

WHAT THE FUDGE is the difference between the magazine
(meh…) and the peer reviewed journal (HURRAH!)?
A journal is a professional collection of articles that are not published UNTIL they are reviewed by peers -- experts in the field, and usually written in jargon that only someone highly active and educated in that field would use.. When an article is sent for publication: 3-5 'peers' in the field decide:
* to unconditionally accept the manuscript or proposal,
* to accept it with recommendation that its authors improve it in
certain ways,
* to reject it, but encourage revision and invite resubmission,
* to reject it outright.
For example, Science looks like a magazine, but all articles are technical, the ads are only for inside type equipment, and each article was accepted only after review by other scientists in that field for accuracy and rigor in research.
Journals typically reveal they are peer reviewed in the first few pages.
Magazines and newspapers can be read by anyone -- they have editors, but it's usually for choice of story.
Research paper presents one point of view -- peer reviewed journal goes through 3-5 fact checking peers, so different medium.
Journals have editors and peer review panels and say so in their first few pages. They usually report original research that is accompanied by studies. Only someone in the profession would find journal articles of use.

At least 70% of students lose points (as much as 30/100pts!!!!) for listing CQ researcher, magazines, websites or other articles that are not peer reviewed.
*Remember, searching a CGCC library or other database can still give you a newspaper or magazine when searching for periodicals, which don't count as JOURNALS -- need to check the box saying 'peer reviewed' on database searches! Even then still need to check for 4 out 4 signs it is a peer review journal.
Most recommended/Best database for journals: JSTOR: http://ez1.maricopa.edu:2048/login?url=http://www.jstor.org
*CQ Researcher & Opposing Viewpoints are NOT peer reviewed journals: they are sources for background research and ideas for arguments, but these are NOT peer reviewed journals / will not count as journals.
*Some titles use the word ‘journal’ but mean diary, or blog, or magazine or such. Email personal librarian for help!
JOURNALS MUST have 4 of the 4 “SIGNS OF A JOURNAL” below:
( Journal in the title isn’t enough)—meet all 4 below or NOT Peer Reviewed
Journal!
1) Always, in the first few pages (paper) or at the top or far bottom of the website (usually in small print) a section titled ‘About Us’ or ‘Instructions for Authors’ or ‘Submission
Guidelines’… STATES somewhere details about the “Peer review process.” Find this!
(Here is an example: http://group.bmj.com/products/journals/instructionsfor-authors/peer-review/ )
2) Always have references (MLA or footnotes) for quotes or details in articles,
3) Almost always, statistics, charts and figures,
4) Almost always, technical language to the field.
If missing any 1 of the above 4, it is NOT a peer reviewed journal!

The World Trade Centers were a big part of the United States of America and symbolized the power of capitalism and the freedom that this wonderful country represents. When that sorrowful Tuesday morning on September 11, 2001 happened it was a devastated act that America had come across and to experience the collision of the towers was abstract. People to this day wonder how they collapsed. To this day in my opinion I think that the collapse of the World Trade Center was due primarily to impact from the planes and poor design.
(1)The World Trade Center was built with poor material and did not support the pressure of the airplane impact. This theory said that “they collapsed because of the combined effect of the impact of the airplanes and the resulting fires” (Spandow
12). The report put out by FEMA said: “The structural damage sustained by each tower from the impact, combined with the ensuing fires, resulted in the total collapse of each building” (“FEMA collapses”). The airplanes hitting the skyscraper blew up creating fuel leak and fire expansion creating a lot of heat to gather around. The
World Trade Centers (WTC) had water sprinklers built in, when smoke was detected it sprinkled water out which made heat rise and started bending the metal. With the metal bending it created the bars to stretch and bend. So the collapse was caused by heating and failure of structural steel beams in the center of the buildings.

“While the aircraft impact undoubtedly destroyed several columns in the WTC perimeter wall, of equal or even greater significance during this initial impact was the explosion when 90,000 L gallons of jet fuel, comprising nearly 1/3 of the aircraft’s weight, ignited” (Edger). This created the explosion and demolished the top part where the aircraft was blown, this had an impact on the steel because in some parts of the building were the steel got hit it loosened up and created the steel to stretch and bend inwards and outwards.
(2)The ensuing fire with loss of steel strength and distortion caused the collapse of the WTC. “Two government reports provide slightly different explanations of the possible processes that ultimately brought the buildings to the ground. The first of these reports was authored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and completed in September 2002, while the second was done by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and finished in September 2005”. (Edger) Both studies blame two general events for the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. The first was the initial impact of the airplanes. “This occurrence caused significant damage to the buildings' external and core columns and increased the strain on those that remained intact. Each of the aircraft carried about 10,000 gallons of fuel, which probably burned off quickly, but not before igniting the contents of several floors in both buildings. These fires burned at temperatures between 400 and 1,100 degrees
Fahrenheit, hot enough to weaken -- but not melt -- the towers' steel superstructure.”

(Pumphrey) The fire and design of the building was also part of the collapse, apparently sources say that they were built with rare steel and metal. Also having a main pressure point to hold every 50 stories to with stand an actual airplane crash but as the tragedy happened the theory was found to be incorrect.
(3) Columns supporting buildings could not withstand the heat and bent the metal columns which caused the collision. With the impact of the crash and leak of gas caused the explosion dismantling the metal to move inwards in the middle part of the building. “Once one story collapsed all floors above would have begun to fall.
While the columns at say level 50 were designed to carry the static load of 50 floors above, once one floor collapsed and the floors above started to fall, the dynamic load of 50 story’s above is very much greater, and the columns at each level were almost instantly destroyed as the huge upper mass fell to the ground”. (Pollow)
Some people think that the WTC collapse was caused by heat of burning fuel and inadequate construction materials and design other say it was a conspiracy and not due primarily to the planes crash. It might partially had to do with the heat of burning fuel, because if you think about it without the impact of the airplane hitting the building the fuel wouldn’t leak of leaked and cause the fire and the heating.
Another that’s really is false is the conspiracy, wouldn’t it be hard to walk into a federal building without getting checked first and then to be able to plan the bomb without being caught. “WTC 7 might have withstood the physical damage it

received, or the fire that burned for hours, but those combined factors—along with the building's unusual construction—were enough to set off the chain-reaction collapse.” (“The Editors tell”) “There is no scientific basis for the conclusion that explosions brought down the towers," Lerner-Lam tells PM. "That representation of our work is categorically incorrect and not in context." (“The Editors tell”)
Today people still wonder what caused the collapse of the World Trade Center and many have myths about it but none to be found true. Studies and experiments still say that the collapse of the World Trade Center was caused by the impact of the airplanes, the fuel leak and heat expansion to loosen up the building’s steel and with no conspiracy involved. We will move forward from this tragedy and the new World
Trade Center yet to come one in 2013, and the others in 2014 and 2015 will be built with better material and engineered better to prevent history from happening again.
This is a frightening chapter in United States history. Still emotions are deep but people are strong and we will never forget September 11, 2001. Together this country will unite and be strong.
