This may range from a complete shift in your opening view to perhaps a more nuanced discussion of how you see the issue as more complex than when you first started your research. Provide your reader specific details from your sources and life experience that help support your thoughts. Chapter 22 from  Everyone's an Author  is a great resource for better understanding this process of moving from what others have said to what you want to say. The questions on pages 428-429 might be particularly helpful: How do the ideas and information in your sources address your RESEARCH QUESTION? What answers do they give?

Open your blog post with a section that: lists each source’s  complete bibliographic information using a format of your choice (MLA, APA, or other),  summarizes each source in a  maximum  250 words each,  evaluates the credibility of the sources,  discusses in detail how the sources inform your perspective on the main research question you are exploring. Also, make sure you are searching in the databases provided by the FIU library if appropriate to your question. https://library.fiu.edu/   Library guides for online research: https://library.fiu.edu/onlinestudents/welcome https://library.fiu.edu/research/frequent
