When I first learned we were going to be writing an I-Search paper in English, I was excited. I liked the idea that we got to pick our own topic and that it could be anything we chose it to be. However, I didn’t realize at the time how hard it actually was to find the “perfect” topic. I had many topics in mind, but I didn’t realize all the time you had to put into finding a good topic. The first thing we did in class to help us find our topic was filling out a personal web. This personal web was mainly any aspect in your life that is important to you or interests you. We discussed our webs with a partner, and they attempted to find the topics that we mentioned more than once or something they thought would be a good topic. Nothing really clicked for me in my personal web. I did have some ideas for my topic, but they just didn’t seem interesting. A lot of my classmates found a topic when they filled in their web, but I still wasn’t sure. My partner and I found that a lot of the topics in my web were related to children and the medical field, but I couldn’t think of a topic that tied them both together and would suit me. My topic didn’t come to me until one night after my basketball game. My mom, my aunt, my brother, and I went out to eat. They were trying to help me, but they were just joking around. My mom was joking to me about how I should be thankful because she was on bed rest for 62 days due to a medical condition she encountered during her pregnancy with me. I was
Hi guys, today I am going to be talking about defining and deciding for the 5-D process. In order to decide what number to first use in your problem, you find the thing that has the least information, for example, "Sarah had 5 times and 1 less cookies than Cara, and Fey had 2 times as much as Cara. In all there was 103 cookies. How many cookies did each girl make?" In this problem you would start with Cara because she has the least information, so she would be first in our equation, represented by X. The results of total cookies Cara made will help us find out our other variables by giving us that base number to find the totals. For instance if Cara had made 13 cookies, to find how many Sarah had we would multiply X(5)-1 to equal 64 cookies,
When I discovered that my English class had to do a Research Paper, I became horrified. I thought students only did this when they were finishing graduate school not when they were starting their first year in college. All I knew about research papers was that there is an overwhelming amount of research to do. In my efforts to complete this obstacle and not bore myself to sleep with researching, I wanted to do an interesting topic, but I had no idea where to begin. I spent hours going through a great number of subjects and people, but once I found topic remotely interesting, I could not find much information on the Library of Congress website. Therefore, I decided to choose one word that would hopefully lead me to an interesting topic. I
Chapter 19 of Everyone’s An Author explains to the readers that it’s extremely important for you to do research on a topic. Research is searching for and gathering information, usually to answer a particular question or problem.

In order to start your research effectively, you should find a topic that fascinates you, consider your rhetorical situation, and do some background research.
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the stop and search process. Previous studies have primarily concentrated on whether the stop and search power is used against an ethnic minority background. In this paper, I will be looking at other studies and resources and their views on the stop and search. I will be reviewing what other reliable sources have established based on statistics, facts and opinions and what they believe to be the contemporary modern day issues and benefits of the 'stop and search ' process. There has distinctly been an express of concern towards the police conduct of the stop and search strategy which gives distinctive social components the chance to scrutinise law enforcement. Likewise, I will be exploring the impartiality of various races as it is accepted to assume a basic part to why police complete strategies in the way they do. Criminological hypotheses have additionally profited law authorization in making judgments of what could conceivably be classed as a "criminal conduct ' '. In this way, the distinctive extreme methodologies they take to keep crime from occurring and expanding through collective data based on stop and search.
There are a few different points in the Excerpt from “Learning the Ropes: How Freshman Conduct Course Research Once They Enter College” by Alison J Head, that I can strongly relate to my process of researching and writing my papers in the past. In my freshman English class I researched and wrote a paper about Alzheimer’s and treatment for the disease. There was one finding that the excerpt mentioned that I closely felt while conducting my research for my Alzheimer’s paper. “It was daunting to conduct online searches for academic literature. Nearly three-fourths of the sample said they struggled with selecting keywords and formulating efficient search queries. Over half felt stymied by the thicket of irrelevant results
I’m going to give you an example of my most memorable Thanksgiving. This goes back to four years ago. I believe I was in the seventh grade around this time. Thanksgiving was at my grandmother's house that year. So everyone definitely came for the food. The problem was that my two aunties weren’t getting along at that time. One came up from Florida and the other came up from Jamaica. My aunty Darrett was from Jamaica and my auntie Reds is from Florida. They were my grandma’s sisters. Now imagine being in a house on a holiday with two of your family members not speaking. Once it was time for us to eat we all was
As a life scout, I personally feel like I have come a long way from when I was just a scout. Boy scouts has helped me so much throughout my whole life. Whether it be the camp outs, enjoyable scout meetings, or just the things I learned in scouting, I would not be young man I am today without my time in scouts.
That day when I returned home from school, my mom’s boyfriend called me asking to speak to my grandmother. Typically, Gus would call my grandmother himself if he wanted to speak with her, which was rare. I found out about my mom going to the hospital from my grandmother after that phone call. The doctor told my family that a stroke afflicted her in the middle of the day. My mom confused the date with her birthday, had trouble getting words out and remembering our family member’s names. The nurse had to take her for walks periodically and exercise her legs and arms because they were weak. Seeing my mother in this condition made me appreciate my mother and everything she does for me tremendously. However, I was terrified for my mother’s health.

One warm summer morning my sister, dad, and I were sitting and watching T.V. and my best friend’s dad called and invited us over for the weekend. He said
Most of the time when I am writing a paper, I do not have a choice on what I am writing. But when I do get to choose my topic, then I can write about something that I enjoy and feel passionate about. In my experience with writing, I have chosen many topics. But most of them I probably did not enjoy writing about that particular topic. There are very few papers that I have written where I really enjoyed writing. But the paper that I am going to talk about was different for me because I wanted people to understand my point of view on the subject. And so, I felt compelled to write about the topic that I chose for this particular essay that I wrote in 9th grade. It is about technology, and its role and effect on society.
In the beginning of my research I had trouble thinking of a topic, I brainstormed and jotted down topics that are of my interests and topics that are currently going on I then decided to choose my topic on free public college education. In the beginning of my search for articles on free college education, I had trouble looking for the right articles I mostly received results that were not related to free public college education and this frustrated me. I then tried to be as specific as possible when it came to the keywords I then used Boolean searching, this gave me more relatable sources on my topic. Boolean searching is what helped me the most when it came to looking for articles that are useful for my

It was 10 years ago, when I was just a little boy. At that time, my mom had so much work at her office and she just couldn’t come back home until 9 p.m. In my family, my mom was the only one who could prepare food and cook. So when she called my dad and said that she couldn’t come back home early to cook a meal for me and my father, we thought that we were having the biggest problem in
It was May 17th, 2011, it was a normal school day when my brother and I were told that my mom called to say that she was picking us up early. I was anxious, wondering why we were going home early and breaking our usual routine. When my mom came to get us, the first thing that I noticed was that she didn’t greet us with her usual smile. I was 9 years old, very observant, but not able to sense what was to come. We got into the car, when I asked my mom where we were going hoping
