Research

Hey, I just wanna let you know that I have  research project this quarter! Cool, right? Well, I'm doing it on the effect of music on teenagers and their intelligence. It's going alright, I have some pretty nice sources and i am making note cards with the sources. We have to paraphrase on note cards or we would be plagiarizing and would get in serious trouble for that. I think that maybe not the music itself affects the message in th music and the people that sing the songs too. If Teens role model, say, Ke$ha and take her music seriously, then they would think that drinking and drugs are okay. But that is just my opinion.

My research is doing ok at this point. I have made some progress and I think I am drifting into a topic not just based on music, but on role models too. I think I need to find more sources that have to do with that and I think I need to change my research question, also. I need to think about it some more before i can make a final decision. Maybe i will change it, maybe not.

  1. Hopefully you find more sources so you can do this topic. This can be very interesting and can be put in a very good paper.

  3. Emma, the second paragraph should be a formal discussion of your topic and what you've learned abou it, not a general update on the project.
