Research Paper

  Recently, we've been doing a research paper in English and History class.  We did all the research in History and now we are writing it in English.  When we started, I thought my topic was pretty good and clever, so I stuck with it!  Well, about a week ago, I wasn't feeling the same about my topic as I was when we started.  I was struggling to get relevant research and I just wasn't really grasping the different things we needed to do for this paper.  After talking to my teachers last week, I think I finally have a very good understanding of what I need to do.

  In class, and at home we have been told to work on an outline, and try to do a detailed one too.  This weekend I tried to make mine as detailed as possible.  I'm not quite sure if it is perfect but I tried to make it pretty detailed.  I also did some more research on my topic and created a couple new noodle tools cards.  I think I might finally have all the research  need!  I also looked at my thesis a little, but I seemed to struggle a little bit with it so I decided that  might need to focus on it a little more and even go see my teacher.  Other than that, this paper is going pretty well!

  1. I have the same problem with my paper. I don't think all my research is relevant, but now I'm sure I have enough, and that my paper will be good. As well with the thesis. What's your topic? It'd be interesting to know!
