I have very easy fixes to my paper. There are mainly grammatical errors. Nothing that is too much to handle. So it is honestly a breeze to get through.
I feel the same way with mine.
I feel the same way, but I'm not sure if she is looking for more actual writing or what? - Conner F
Question about Revisions
Hey y'all just one question about these revisions. How much different is she looking for here? Like adding entire pages, or just whatever we think is good?
I thought the CSW was a cool way for students to transform their run of the mill research papers into a different, creative new genre. The only negative thing I have to say about the CSW was the fact that it was at least 100° in there which made it a little difficult to enjoy it...
I completely agree, it was super hot in there which was made it not enjoyable at times but it was a very cool way for everyone to show off their creative new genre of research. - Conner F
CSW Response
Besides the fact it was blazing hot in the Student Center the CSW was pretty cool. I thought it was a neat idea to have all the english classes get together to display everyone's work. It was interesting to see the very wide array of genre transformations and to stop a chat with people about their projects. I was proud of our table and our little push pin maps. I think it was a fun and easy way for people to interact with our class projects and my classmates that were standing at the table presenting their work. Overall it wasn't too bad.
CSW Chat
I enjoyed Lavonte’s idea of the GPS. I just put it in my most recent reblog with Brittany, but to reiterate my point, I feel like we could have some fun with that idea and find even more cool things to do with it. I think we’re on the right track with getting our table all set up and lookin nice. I’m excited to see what we decide on and come up with. Maybe the GPS idea will also lead to us using Ali’s idea with the coffee grounds!…. Or maybe not… ;)
I agree with everyone that the GPS is a pretty sweet idea. Very original and it works very well with all of our projects. It's a great way to tie all of our projects together and to represent the class and what all of us have worked on all semester. I'm down for the GPS. -Conner F
What we should do at the CSW
I know this is a little late, but I think it would be fun or good if we did anything interactive. People like entertainment and visual appealing things, so if we could somehow make our table visually appealing and interactive for anyone and everyone that comes up to our table. We had a lot of great ideas in class the other day for what we should do, if I could say anything about it, it would be to make it as simple and interactive as possible.
EM Journal
I read the EM Journal article by Melissa Kalnasy titled Oliver’s Ballard. There were many great things about this short story. She wrote about her two guitars that she owed when she was younger. The first one that she had was named Oliver. She talked about how she wore out her first guitar. The strings, wood and neck became very worn and the sound was different. Despite this she loved Oliver, she would take him to the beach and play him for hours on end, they had a great relationship. Until one Christmas two years after she got Oliver, her brother and her got new guitars. The new one she got was named Dakota. She explained the new easy sound of the guitar and how she was able to play songs and make them sound a lot better with her new guitar. The problem she had was that she had a strong emotional attachment to, Oliver, her old guitar that she completely neglected and only played Dakota. There would be times that she actually felt guilt deep down because she was ignoring her older and wore out guitar. She explained that sometimes Oliver would reach out to her and she couldn’t help it and gave in. She would play him for a little then find herself back to holding the new one. Later in the story she was going off to college and had to decide which, if any, guitar she was going to take. Up until right before she left Oliver was planned to make the trip and not the new one because she felt that Oliver had been for her through all the years and it wouldn’t be the same without him. However, the moment before she left she explained how Oliver reached out for her once more and told her to go without him. To start a new chapter in her life without him, because he would be waiting there for her, just like he always had. He was her home, her rock, something she knew she could always come back to.
This story was awesome to read, I really enjoyed how she talked about her guitars like they were people. It showed the reader that she truly cared for them and that they were a major piece of her life as she was growing up. This reminds me a lot of what I had when I was growing up. My goggles were a lot like what she had. I know that sounds weird but I had lucky goggles when I was little and swam. I had the same pair of lucky goggles for four years before the strap finally broke too many times and the eye parts were too wore. I got new ones when I was 11 and I’ve been wearing the same kind ever since. I felt the same connection to her using her guitar that I had wearing my goggles during races and feeling so lucky. I was sad when I got new ones but also happy to have new and better goggles. I’m thankful for both pairs but the first ones will always be special. Just like Oliver is to Melissa.
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…
I read the same article, and I also really like the article. I agree that this article was well written.
Response to Kara
Hey Kara, excellent presentation I know it was a few days ago, but here it is. I just thought you should know that you scored "excellently"on every part of your presentation. I was very interested to learn more about the history of the area that I go to school in. One of my favorite breakfast places in Ypsi is The Bomber so your research had my attention. I thought it was awesome that you really care about the Bomber plant and how it is a big piece of history shared between Ypsi and Belleville. Great presentation I really enjoyed it.

Response to Kris
Hey Kris, you did a really good job on your presentation on Tuesday. Sorry this is a little late but here it is. I think it was really cool how we both talked about how the highways and mass transit in our hometowns effected the cities. We both come from two pretty large cities and it was neat to hear about Detroit, because I don't know a whole lot about it. I loved your powerpoint, it was very helpful in following your presentation. I can tell you did a great deal of research and you passionate about how to help Detroit. The only thing I didn't hear was an antithesis, but other than that great work Kris.

I honestly really have not have that much of a hard time finding all sorts of information on my research project because this specific topic is something has interested myself and the many citizens of Dearborn for many years to come. Incase you guys didn’t know my topic is “why do the...
That's awesome that you aren't having problem finding stuff for your paper. And I'm from Indiana so I don't know, is there a really large population of Arab-Americans in Dearborn? -Conner Finnigan
Thesis
Well the research is going about the same, but I just finished my thesis statement so I had to post about it right away before I forget to use this thing. But yep, thesis, check.
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!
I think that my topic is good for research, it is just hard to find newspaper articles from the past being that the bomber plant is such an old part of history… I might have to check the library and Ann arbor.com to see if I can find any useful articles. I feel like it is just...
Here's a link
Here's a link to a super awesome and informational source on my research. This is a very inspirational 192 page financial report of the entire city of Indianapolis over the past 2013 fiscal year. Just kidding, it is very boring and hell no I didn't read 192 pages, just found what I needed an exited before I died. It helped for me, doubt any of you will find it helpful cause I don't think anyone else in our class is from Indy, but here you guys go..

My research question is: What will happen to the town of Byron if the buildings are never restored? My opinion is that nothing will happen but I would like to see the city council do something about this situation. The town looks abandoned, and will this town look like this forever? Will the town…
See, I’m not alone w/ this abandoned building thing. It’s not a good look for these cities at all and a change needs to happen, asap.
Well this week I am supposed to post something about my research question, so just wanted to share that I may have messed up and picked a topic that is just too hard to research, but it's the only good one that I could think of so I hope it's not going to be that hard..
