Major Writing blog post 1

This writing is about us exploring our major in a deeper way. We are supposed to research what type of writings that is being used in our major. As an elementary education major I am researching what types of writing is used on an everyday basis during the day as a teacher. Some examples are lesson plans, emails, etc. Another important aspect to this writing is the use of academic and nonacademic writings. Academic writings are written by scholarly writers and use research to back up what they have to say. It is non biased and factual. Nonacademic writings are opinion based writings. Can be found in magazines, non scholarly websites, etc. Some questions I have are: 1) Where to find academic sources and what type of sources should I be looking for 2) Do we get in class time to work on our paper in class 3) How does APA format work
