I'm setting you free! 

For the next blog you will have complete freedom to explore any aspect of your topic that you find interesting.




Ideas:

• Focus on one of the key players in your issue.  A researcher, famous person, victim, etc.  
• Do a pro/con analysis for one aspect of your issue.
• Deeply research one aspect of your topic.

• Read another essay and reflect on the author’s ideas.

As always, the blog needs to be 300-500 words and have two correctly cited sources. Remember, you are working towards a research paper, so as you pick a topic think about how it will add to your paper.

Statistics - Due March 11

Reading the opinions of others is a great start, but before you can develop your own stance on an issue it is important to analyze the data yourself.

For this post you will need to find and interpret data and/or statistics. Do some research on your topic and find a chart or statistic that refers to your question. In the blog, interpret the data and explain the connection to your topic. What lessons can we take away from the statistics? What questions do the statistics generate?

Cite your two sources (in the text and in the Works Cited section at the bottom of your blog)

Write 300-500 words.
