Continued Working on Our Papers

If  you not were not in class today, we basically just worked on our papers. Mr. Rivers reminded us of the Writing Cycle and how useful it will be whilst working on your paper. The questions that you should keep behind your mind are:

What research do you need? 

How does Academic Research or Cinematic Research respond to Academic Research or Cinematic Research? 

What Evidence can you integrate into your paper? What Evidence can you integrate into your paper?

Remember that we will not have every class period to work on our papers, starting next week, therefore, you should use your time wisely. The Final Senior Paper is due February 1st.

My personal research:

I looked for more sources that I could use to synthesize my sources so that the paper becomes a conversation rather than a lecture. I mainly focused on the film aspect and how it fits in with the conversation.  The movie that I am synthesizing is called "The City of God" and it fits within the puzzle because of its talk about journalism in a country of crisis. I will try to continue implementing more sides of the arguments so that it becomes, like said before, a conversation.

Lesson:

Make a plan for your work while you still got time for it.

How can you show ownership for these next couple of days?

If you have any questions regarding your senior paper, make sure to ask before the due date!
