Research+Journal

During week 1, I was able to locate sufficient sources which will help me with my essay. I also started my wiki and began to edit it so it would be suitable and organized for my data and essay.

Week 2: Started my rough draft. Unfortunately, I was using a computer that wasn't mine so I have lost all my bookmarks to my sources. I have the introduction and first paragraph completed which includes one source.

Week 3: Still working on rough draft. Having to find new sources is difficult due to my subject being not as controversial as abortion.

May 24th, 2010: Recovered many sources and found more. The articles are intriguing and provide me with much to work with. I have completed my rough draft. After a few tweaks I feel my draft will meet the requirements for the final.

May 25th, 2010: I have finally complete editing and revising my rough draft. My draft is now in it's final state. My works have been cited using one of the links for citing on Cafe 19's Research Paper directions page. I was only able to find 3 sources that related to my topic. I'd also like to note that the databases did not provide articles that I felt were relative so I had to use the search engine Google. The articles I used were authored by adults whom I felt understood the mindset of a teen. I refused to use any articles that I felt were biased against teens or any that I believed did not understand modern teen's struggles and life.
