Personally I find this week in English class pretty un-active. It might have been because we had discussions about the three subjects we wanted to choose for our papers.
The powerpoints... I can say that I was not being able to pay attention to it well, although what Mr. Sweeney's talk was interesting, the whole point of the powerpoint wasn't that helpful. I personally have a good experience with powerpoint; in high school my US History teacher would create powerpoints that are bulletin notes. From what I see from Sweeney's was reading off from the notes of the powerpoint, some times I don't mind that but, it isn't a great way for students to learn the subject matter. I learned powerpoints by writing done the notes. So possibly for next powerpoint, have it more main word bulletin notes instead a sentence.
I personally am not sure what I will be doing my paper on for Crime and Punishment. It is just a broad subject and I have no certain opinion on what subject I would love to focus on. I personally find problems in crime and punishment but narrowing into one subject is hard. I could do something that is a comparison and argue over what country has a good crime and punishment system but that would be a bit too bland for me.
So.... after trying to figure out what I would like to do, I somewhat regret the decisions on choosing Crime and Punishment, but then even if I oppose it would still have probably be chosen.
