this week we just worked on project 3 and did a lot to help us with project 3. She gave us a lot of useful information on how to do quotes ad cite sourced. I think her doing the quote hamburger was very helpful since we need to have quotes and stuff in our paper. I'm having trouble getting my thoughts together for this paper an every time i start writing it i feel like i am repeating myself. I don't feel like i have enough facts helping me prove my point but i don't want to have to much information because then it will sound to much like a research paper. I think its because this has been a busy eek for me and i haven't had my head clear enough to write this paper.

blog week of the 20th

this week we did a lot of different things to get us ready to write the paper. I really like that she showed us that site so that we can find resources but we don't have to go to the library for most of it. I didn't like the rebuttal thing we had to do though because i guess i took it in the wrong way and once we talked about it i saw another side of it. Then she told us why it was written and it totally made sense. The brainstorm thing on the bubbl site was awesome i actually might use that a lot for paper ideas. it really helped get my brain going on ideas. i dont think the blog we did in class helped that much but reading over the things she poseted gave me some good ideas.

questions for project 3

1. that uniforms should be kept in private schools and for military

2. need for individuality, always be judgment from peers uniforms wont stop that, who wants to wear the same thing 5 days a week, cost, and intruders from other schools

3. the cost, individuality, or that intruders can still make there way into a school with uniforms and might be spotted easier but it still can happen.

4. costs less, everyone will feel better, intruders will be spotted easily

5. it might seem that uniforms will cost a family less,

6. however in the end you could end up spend more

7. It might seem that uniforms will cost a family less, however in the end it could cost a family more because of the expense of uniforms and the expense of normal clothing for weekends and holiday breaks.

for several days now we have been seeing things about the economy and what Bush is going to do about it and what the presidential candidates are going to do about it. also there are smaller things in the daily kent stater about DUI's on bikes. I think thats the economy is much more important then DUI on a bike. We are never gong to see the end of the economy thing because it is going o take a lot of work to fix it. everyone is doing research on ways to help our economy but everything turns out the same and not that much is ever done about it.

This week i class we started talking about project 3. This one worries me most out of all three projects because we have to have sources and pictures in the paper. Also, we are aloud to write about anything we can argue. I think i am going to have a hard time picking a topic because i have no idea what i want to write about. I did a web search on most common papers that are argued and that didn't even narrow it down. W also did that 500 word thing which my group could not get to make 500 words but we did learn about the cannons of rhetoric which was pretty cool. We also made that newspaper article which was pretty neat i just wish i knew how to use the different tools the computer has to of made the newspaper look more realistic. I think doing the newspaper and the 500 word essay will in the end help with project 3.

Brainstorming

1.global interesting- Economy, poverty, world hunger.
2.US level- Diseases, economy (china), presidential elections
3.state level Ohio- Jobs, casinos, education scholarships
4.city of kent- apartment, halloween craziness, law enforcement policies
5. Major- Getting into major, job in the field, new technology and its practices.
6.my life- jobs, ROTC, paying for school
7.in general- trying to get a loan, Iraq and whats going on, teen pregnancy and its rise in younger kids

This week was really easy and all we did was work on our projects. I think it really helped having someone else read my paper and give me there feedback. Also I am really bad at reading my own papers to find mistakes because I usually just skim it and miss everything. I'm still a little worried I am missing something in my paper. I'm still not sure about a lot of things like the placement of my picture or if I am 100% correct on the way I explained my ethos pathos and logos. This paper was a lot easier to write in terms of length then I expected and didn’t take me very long at all. I think we had more then enough time in class working on the project and breaking it down into sections really helped. Looking at project 3 I think this is going to be like a cake walk compare to that.

this week class was very helpful. we spent a lot of time learning about project 2 and working on it. We pretty much did most of the work in class now i know all i have to do is put it all together and make it into an actual paper. Also i really liked meeting with Nikki because she was able to help me with a thesis and point out things about the paper that i might not have been able to think of on my own. Even though this project is more strict then the last one i still feel that it was be fairly easy. Also since we are doing peer review tuesday i know it will help me with my ideas and making them sound alright.
