Possible Research Topics

By -
One possible research topic that I am looking into using is the issue of homelessness. This will most likely be my topic, however I am still trying to figure out what my subtopic will be in this area. There are many directions that this could go, looking a men vs women, teenage homelessness, veteran homelessness or maybe looking at long-term verses short term homelessness. Or even look at short term versus long term services to help those that are homeless. If I were to look into teenage homelessness, I could look into family dynamics, impact on school, relation to crime and look into solutions. However if I looked into long term versus short term homelessness I could look into the impact of the underclass, and even the differences in culture of the short term and long term homelessness. Gender however may have the greatest number of sources.

This source will be very helpful when looking into how effective long term and short term services are in helping the homeless population.

Dirk also points out that genres are used to help people accomplish a goal. I never thought a genre could do that. I always thought it was used to just categorize novels or short stories but, now that I have read this piece, I now realize that genres are important because, if you write in the wrong genre, the message that you want to portray can come across completely differently then you had intended. The example that Dirk used of George Washington and his State of the Union Address. By using this genre, Washington...

Project 2 Reflection

By -
1)      In this essay I am most proud of the new way in which I learned to write a research paper. I was able to incorporate new writing skills into my paper that I never learned in my high school classes but will aid me in my future writing. 2)      If I had more time to work on this essay I would try to include more specific details to support my topic from a wider range of sources and provide more reasoning to support the legalization of physician assisted suicide. 3)      Peer reviews benefitted my essay the most. This is because it provided me with a lot of constructive feedback that I was able to take into consideration while editing my paper. The teacher review also helped me inn a similar way because it gave me some direction with where to go with my essay. 4)      While writing this project I was able to learn a different way of writing a research paper in which I have previously done in high...
