Global Issue Paper

Before I lay down, fall asleep, and dream.  I would like to share some important information about my week/weekend dealing with my global issues paper.  This past week in Dr. D’s class, we’ve been working on developing our global issues paper.  We have been working in the writing lab every class period which has been a big plus for us.  Mainly because we have the ability to have a one-on-one conference with her, ask any necessary questions, and have time in class to work on it.  I have had difficulties previous times especially with the literary analysis but now I have a better understanding.  At first I was doubtful of myself because I was worried about how my paper would sound, and it was a new kind of style I wasn’t use to.  Although I asked a lot of questions, and Dr. D helped lead me in a good position.  I also feel very good about my paper, and I probably got a good grade on it as well.
          I chose to write my global issues paper on how many innocent people have been sentenced to the death penalty because of certain crimes that they assume they committed.  At first, I had a difficult time choosing my topic but I later found a great topic.  And I appreciate Dr. D and Coach Coco giving us the ability to freelance with our topics.  Mainly because now I have a good visual of how my topic will be constructed and I will be able to portray my argument similar to my literary analysis.  I am looking forward to the process and I have this feeling that my global issues paper will be better than my literary analysis.

Time constructed
1 hour and 30 minutes to complete my rough draft

  1. Hey Paul, this is a great post and I think you will go somewhere with this paper. What I mean is that you will probably do very well on this paper because you really know your subject. I also like how your getting ahead of the game by finishing you draft already. So, I really like your post and hope to see more like it.

  2. Hey Paul, I think thats really good that you have confidence that you will do go on this paper. Also, to say that you already completed your rough draft shows that you, like Andrew said, are ahead of the game. Your topic sounds really interesting and I hope you get a good grade on it.
