Week 11: My Choice

     Paper four is quite a challenge to me. When I “free” write, I find that I start out heading in one direction and then I change direction last minute. This is something that I have always done. There have been several ‘papers’ that I have written in school that I have started out with one topic. Then at the very last minute when I am “polishing” it up, I start an entirely new paper and I end up turning that one in. This is quite frustrating to me because I had been trying to research one subject and I have decided to change it. Surprise-surprise! My new topic for my paper is quite interesting to me and I have never really thought so much about it until I was in my Biology class a few weeks back.

 

     I think what happens is, I find so much information and I read and study the papers. Then, I lose interest in it. Perhaps it is because I am not one that really likes to read. I like variety and with three kids, sometimes it is hard to find time to even think. With that said, I think that paper four is going to be the most challenging one thus far, especially because I am sure I’ll want to change it again last minute.

Week 10: My research update

     I am pleased to say that I am finding an incredible amount of information on my topic. I have downloaded so many articles. Now I have the task of trying to read them all. How exhausting it is just thinking about this process. This is only because the average length of the twenty plus articles I have found is roughly 33 pages. I am hoping that as I start to read through these articles, I will actually find the question that I am going to write on.

 

     It’s fun to realize that this is our fourth paper we are writing. I am really interested in looking back over each one of my papers in years to come, just to see how much I have learned. Until then it is all about research, research and research on No Child Left Behind.
