Research Propsal

Although I feel the research proposal is unnecessary for a grade it did bring up important points to add to my research paper. Also it helped me with the direction my paper was going in. I also gained a greater understanding of how to write the paper, what my main thesis will be and the best way to argue.

But overall, I felt it was unnecessary. I felt it was unimportant and was something I do myself anyways. Especially with the timeline I felt I was forced to come up with material surrounding something I put in a planner.

Although, I feel it was unnecessary it is a good assignment for in class activity I do not feel it was one that needed as much analysis or as high of a grade.

Censorship and Television

My essay will be on the topic of censorship of television. I will argue that censorship is not only unnecessary but it is against the first amendment of the constitution. My paper will be designed to persuade people who believe that censorship is a good thing and it protects both adults and children from indecent and obscene material. The paper will also support people's opinions that are similar to mine and have a call for action for what they can do to change the current system. In addition my paper will look at the Federal Communications Commission and how it is a waste of money and does not follow the first ammendment. This is a key concept because many people who support the FCC are those who are being listened to for that is censored. This is a small population out the majority who is been given special rights and it is unfair for all the other tax paying americans who do not agree with the FCC.

Technology and English 207

English 207 involved using multiple technologies for writing assignmnets. I feel the use of technology in the class is a great way to explore your writing. Although, I feel for the class their was too much emphasis on the technology and not enough on the writing. Much time in class was spent putting together the blog, google docs and the final e-portfolio that could have gone to spending time improving writing. Although with an increase in technology it is a good thing that we learned more ways to communicate.
