Research Paper Revisions
I am not really struggling with much of anything on my research paper. I have a few easy fixes, but other than that nothing to hard to fix. The one thing I could've done better was that I had two separate paragraphs that could have been joined together to make one long paragraph. I guess maybe I should re-read that part to see if that can be fixed to sound better!
revisions
I have not struggled with to much on the revisions. Most of them were easy fixes. The only thing I have struggled with was making a stronger thesis. Ms. Dieterich said that it was strong but it could go further, so that is what I am working on right now.
I agree with you, that I am not really struggling with revisions on my research paper either!
I thought that the CSW was extremely hot. That is one thing. I also thought that the people did a sort of walk by type thing basically there to just glance at the projects. I think that the presentations I saw were very nice! I found myself chatting with people more in a half hour than I have in...
I agree that it was SUPER hot in there! And snacks and air would be a good thing! :) I also agree that it was a neat way for students to present their research and writing to other students!
CSW Reflection
I thought the CSW was a creative way to present our writings. Although it was WAY TOO HOT in there! I also liked how our class all had a similar topic to do our presentations on because I felt confused about other classes since they did theirs all on random different topics. It seemed a little chaotic at first, but ehh it's whatever! My project was kind of a "look at it yourself" sort of thing, like I didn't really need to explain anything because it said my main points in my project. I also liked how we had a pin map! It was cool to find out where other people were from. Overall I think the CSW was a neat experience!
CSW Theme
I really like the idea of the "World Map" theme that everyone else in the class is coming up with! We all come from different places big and small and I really like the fact that we could highlight that, and make that something significant! In a way it could be like an "Around the World" type theme, or in our case "Around the US" theme. Maybe we could just do a map of neighboring states, and not the whole US? We could pin a picture of ourselves on our hometown areas on the map or pin our names on the map to show where we come from? I agree that we should do this theme for our table at the CSW!
The article that i read on Em Journal was “Converse Chuck Taylors: A Personal Artifact,” by Sarah Brethen. Personally, I was pleased with my decision to read this article instead of the many other options. Although I’m sure all of the other articles were well written and interesting, I feel that...
It is interesting that the pair of Converse was so significant in this girls life because the article I read was about a sweater being sort of like a comforting aspect in that girls life. The Converse article sounds very interesting!
EM Journal Article
The article I read on EM Journal was called Black Sweater by Christa Kiracofe. The started out with a girl in a classroom who met her best friend by actually getting in trouble by her teacher. She and the best friend had made a puddle of Elmers glue and glitter in the classroom. It then went on to say that they turned their messy habits of art class into paint wars and ended up painting all over each others faces and the girls sweater. She later moved from a small town to a big city with her family and started at a new school, she felt congested in the new city and like her childhood was stolen from her. Needless to say she wore the sweater that her best friend had painted on at any time she needed to feel comfort. She wore it to her first day of school, meeting her new friends, at a high school talent show, and at graduation. She went on to say that it is peculiar how an old piece of clothing that was once forgotten about came back with age after it had been faded in her mind. Her sweater had gotten her through many troubling times in life! I really liked this article because most people do have that one significant thing that gets them through their days. For example, my little sister has a bunch of old burp cloths from when she was a baby and that is her piece of comfort. She sleeps with one, and when shes upset that's the one thing she goes to, actually she panics if she can't find it, and 12 years later she's still using it, much like a teddy bear! I think most all of us can agree that there are certain things that comfort us more than others, whether it be music, a burp cloth, or an old worn out sweater that your old best friend painted on!
Presentation Response
Joanna, I thought your topic about the racial clubs at your high school was interesting because my high school didn't have clubs like that. It is a neat way to show racial diversity. Do you find the clubs important, and did you join or support any of them?
Presentation Response
Brogan, I thought your topic of the Toledo Zoo was a really cool idea! I also thought it was a good idea that you incorporated the learning aspect of the zoo. I would assume that you have been to the zoo, do you go often or a lot?
What is the post this week?
The post this week is to create a text post describing a source you're using in your research and why it's useful for your topic. Then explain whether you agree or disagree with one of the claims in your source using the "Ways to Respond" reading and then respond to someone's post. It's also on the course website for this class.
Research Proposal Source
I am using the local newspaper as one of my sources for my Research Proposal. The newspaper has interviews from people in my community and also has some facts and the history of the Homer Mill. There is a whole section in the newspaper from the time of the fire that is just specifically on the Mill. Mike Warner is surely right about the history of the Homer Mill in the Special on the Homer Mill fire, because they people of Homer and other sources on the internet share the same dates on the Mill's history.

Thesis Statement
My Thesis Statement is:
Some people think the owners of the Homer Mill fire of 2010 were not responsible for the fire, but I believe they were involved.
(I don't really like it though so I'll probably change it!)
My research is not going well at all it is very hard to find a lot of information on my research question of “why Hanover and Horton should have their own school instead of sharing a school?” I have found information on my question but not enough to write a long paper on it for the end of this...
Megan, I think that the Hanover and Horton School topic would be really interesting! I wish you could find more information on the topic! Would using interviews help? Maybe interview the superintendents, school board or the principles? They might have an opinion or some facts on the topic!
Research Link
Here's a link from the local newspaper in my Hometown, it's specifically all on the Mill fire and has lots of pictures as well!

Research Proposal
I think my research proposal topic will be an interesting one. Although, while looking up information for the annotated bibliography assignment about the owners of the Homer Mill at the time of the fire, it was a little bit hard to find articles that would give me all the information I will need/want on my research. I did find out some facts that I didn't know though. For example, they owners where removing items from the scene before investigation on the cause of the fire began, and also that the owners had sort of abandoned their home just before the fire took place. I hope to find out a lot more information through interviews.
Reaserch Proposal Question
I'm not completely sure if I want to do this question for sure, but I think I am going to do my research proposal on some background of the owners of the Homer Mill when the mill burnt down. Did they have anything to do with the cause of the fire? Where are they now that the haunted mill is gone?
Research Question
My research question is: Are high school dropouts the major cause of drug related crime on the Eastside of Detroit in the last five years?
Michelle, this is an interesting topic! I like the idea, what made you decide to do research on the reason for high school dropouts?
