Describe your approach to your argument of fact:

What new misconceptions are you clearing up?
I am clearing up the misconception of food allergies, and that they are found in a large part  of the population.
I am providing new information through the use of testimonials, and one more peer reviewed article.
An unknown issue that I am bringing to the audiences attention, that consuming too much of the same kind of food can make you allergic to that food

What is your hypothesis: what do you want us to understand?
I would like my audience to know that food allergies is a serious disease, and it is important to be considerate of people with allergies
Testimonial facts is what I am going to use to convince my audience of this, I just need the actual testimonial facts.

I have now read and summarized three scholarly sources on my food allergy topic. I have learned that food allergies can be caused by simply consuming too much of the same food regularly. I have also learned that doctors today are trying to learn more and better ways to reduce the chance of getting food allergies, and also how to better stop a reaction. Because I myself have had to deal with food allergies growing up, I was not surprised by anything that I learned. I feel that I still need to know how a person can better prevent an allergic reaction from occurring. I feel that the journal articles will not provide the "testimonial" feel that I am looking for in my research paper. I will look else where at this point, and hopefully find exactly what I need.

During my time researching my project, I have found several things:

first being that the key words that I found to be useful for my Allergy Reaction Research Paper were " allergy reaction, food allergies, and food reaction" The ones that were least useful were " Allergic reactions to garlic, and Reaction to food."

To answer the second point on my work sheet, there are a lot of sources on my topic. At first I was overwhelmed by how many sources were available, but once I took the advice of my librarian and narrowed down the sources, I found it to be quite helpful. 

Some of the sources came up with the right approach, showing how people can be allergic to food, and why it happens in people.  The area of study in this particular subject is really broad, and so it was not all that hard to find information on it.

The way that I sorted through sources was by narrowing down my search first on countries with people who had severe food allergies, then by subject. The criteria I used to figure out if they were useful was first, I looked at the relevance of the articles, then to see if they looked like actual studies that were conducted, and I looked to see if the websites that they were from looked or seemed to be reliable.

The thing that I learned from my topic from simply sorting through some sources, was that my subject is really broad, and it is still very interesting to me, and interesting how severe food allergies can be.
