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.

Week 1
So far in english class we have argued over the 3 topics that we would like to work on our argumentative paper. So far we have been thinking about what we want to write about for our research papers. However we chosen several of them because they were easy or something we would like to do.
In my opinion, some are just our opinions and do not have that much resource to support our opinions. Well that is the meaning of the research paper but (this can possibly from where I grew up) fact was the number one that you need in a research paper.Some, for example; Education, Gender, Crime and Punishment are simple subjects that have numerous studies with different opinion. Although when it comes to Religion, although it is a touchy subject; i think that it will be hard for argumentative. But this does not mean that I would not like to write a paper about religion, I would but I end up thinking "what kind of studies are out there that can possibly support my study". Personally I think when we talk again on Monday to choose our other 2 subjects; I think instead of not doing it because you just don't want to cannot be a reason. I personally believe that some of the subject is good to learn and research them but again I see some to be hard to find supportive facts or evidence. (Again this is just my experience from high school with just only writing research paper.)
Rant time:
I personally don't want to write a research paper on environment, during my high school years for four years I personally got fed up doing a lot of research on environment. Although I do have a subject that I would like to research on. Also, the subject family; after listening about the subject family while we were discussing made me lose interest of the subject. One, it just started to fade away in my head, I think the reason is because it is just broad for me.
