Journal #8

At the beginning of class today we took time to discuss the article called "Gorgias' Encomium of Helen." We talked about how people will always interpret facts differently than others. We also learned from the article how strong words really are. After that we went over as a class how we are supposed to go about our field work group project. We went through how to do our observations and Professor Evans gave us examples of places to observe such as: library, food courts, and shuttles. We looked over our release form for the interview we have to make after our observation paper as well as our surveys and our final powerpoint.

Journal #7

Today in class each student in our group took on their own website either saying that the moon landing was fake or that it was real. We were given a paper that we each had to go through and examine each website seeing if they were reliable and why they were. Our annotated bibliography is due next class period on Thursday, i have began going though several of my source describing what each one presents and my opinions on how they will be used in my paper.

I met with Mrs. Evans last Thursday and we spoke in detail about my topic. She explained to me how to go about my proposal and I'm now applying what she said into my paper. The three books i got from the library have helped me understand how Collegiate sports have changed over the years. I did not realize until the meeting that the paper we have to write is describing our topic and why we chose what we did. I'm finishing up my thoughts on my proposal in the next few days.

Journal #5

I'm continuing to do my research for my paper. I've been looking through my sources of all three books i checked out from the library last week and seeing what information i could use in my paper. I've talked to two people that i plan on interviewing for my paper, I'm setting up times with them now so we can sit down and discuss what i need to know about Division 1 sports to make my papers stronger. I have not yet had my meeting with Mrs. Evans, my meeting is this Thursday where i think being able to sit down and speak with her will help me better understand what exactly she's looking for in this paper.
