Curious Researcher Chapter One

I learned a lot from the first chapter in the Curious Researcher. The main thing I learned was how to get my thoughts organized. It showed me how to brainstorm ideas with the topics and to write down all the thoughts that came to mind. The chapter also explained how to begin to think of a topic that would not be too broad or too narrow. Ballenger suggested looking up topics online or just brainstorming anything that comes to mind. He got me thinking about what I wanted to being to write my paper on. "Theories of Intelligence" ends with him having time to think to himself and being able to think and sort out all of his thoughts.
