MGRP
As of today (one week after I should have), I finally was struck with an idea that fully had my interest for the multi genre research project. While sitting in the education library, I looked up from my boredom at the computer and saw a poster on the wall of an old woman in black and white. Squinting, I saw the woman's name. Eleanor Roosevelt, a woman whom I had heard of briefly in the past was staring me in the eye,making me question what I really knew about her contributions to America. Although I am fully aware that the actions that she took while alive impacted many Americans because of her courage, I never really knew what it was that she did. I immediately googled her name and began reading up on the information that I could find (which included over 1.5million results). I realized that this would be a perfect research topic because of the lack of knowledge that I have about her. I have already found multiple books relating to her life and can't wait to being my deeper research about her influences.

It was so hard for me to figure out a topic for this paper too. I think that's a really good idea and that you'll find lots of information on her and be able to produce lots of good writing on her.
ReplyDeleteI think Eleanor Roosevelt is a great person to do your research project on. I don't know too much about her either, but I still she was a very strong woman and could be a good role model for many young girls. I think it would be cool if you did a diary entry or something for your project. I wonder what it was like being the First Woman during that time period and being married to FDR. I think it's also good for you that you struggled not knowing what to do your project on because that will help you relate to your students later on when they are having troubles choosing subjects for projects and maybe you can have some ideas on hand that you could help them decide.
