Deadline #9 HW #5 Cluster

I was unable to post a cluster, but I have better luck with the Toulmin method and outlining. With clustering, my main bubbles were my reasons for my topic. My main bubbles were hunting is an effective wildlife-management tool, education programs, personal experiences, hunters donate money for conservation purposes, pro-hunting organizations, anti-hunting objections, and legal actions. Each main bubble has a series of smaller bubbles consisting of evidence to each reason. This is the gist of my cluster. It has all my main points and evidence I will use for my paper. If I cluster too mush information, it gets confusing to understand and I could miss some valuable information. I believe clustering is the first part of putting information together, and then can use it to make an outline. This activity was useful because I was able to gather great information I can build on and use it towards an outline and my paper.
