How far along are you on your infographic? Will you be finished and ready to embed on to your blog by the end of the hour today? Do you think you've used your time wisely in class? Explain yourself.I am doing pretty good, but finding enough information on Affirmative Action is a struggle, especially because a lot of the controversy surrounding Affirmative Action is opinion rather than statistics. I think that I've made pretty good use of my time, other than my intense debates and conversations with my teacher. I need to continue to research statistics and incorporate those into my developing infographic.

Why do I have you brainstorm and collect your information in a Google Doc before putting in to final draft? Explain.
It helps us piece our thoughts together into a well-thought-out plan for writing our paper. Brainstorming helps create an organized draft for what will later become a final essay. Putting the information onto a Google document ensures that we have all of our information gathered and that we have direction when beginning to actually write our final draft.

Yesterday I introduced you to infographics... tell me again what they are and how they are used? What is the benefit of an infographic? What goes into an infogrpahic?Also, go out and see if you can find an already existing infographic on your global issue. Save the image to your computer and upload the image into your blog post for today. Save the source link to the image so that you can site the image in your blog post. See my examples at the end of this post
An infographic is a more interesting way of displaying information to a desired audience. The benefit is that you should be able to successfully keep the audience interested and inform that person of information at the same time. Statistics, pictures, and information.

Post your research paper to your blog. Give me a short (one paragraph summary) of your paper and include the link for me read your paper">Affirmative action is a very controversial issue in today's world, particularly to the United States. Affirmative action, or the program that gives priority to applicants who are members of the minority, or a female, has been around since the Civil Rights Movements in the 1960's. There are two opposing sides who are at a standoff over whether to keep affirmative action or change/retire it. The people who wish to keep it believe that racism still exists and members of the minority need to have an edge in the work force and when applying for college. The pro-change group believes that it should be based off of social economic basis rather than off of one's ascribed status, or remove it altogether.
Here is my paper

Where are you at with your 5 paragraph essay so far? How is it coming? Is it easy to write? Difficult to write? Is it helpful that you created an outline first? Explain.I am done with everything but the conclusion. I think that it is fairly easy but I forgot to source my evidence. I didn't find it very helpful to create an outline, but I suppose it possibly could have helped with the structure of my paper... maybe. I feel like a have a solid natural sense of direction when writing a paper so depending on the topic, sometimes I dislike having to create an outline

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend. If you didn't go to Sweetheart, what did you do? I want details!
Unfortunately, on Friday I worked, but after that I went to my girlfriends so at least their was that on Friday. On Saturday, I worked once again from 11-2, after that I just slept until like 5 o'clock, when I commenced getting ready for sweetheart. I went to pictures which is always a blast because I always photo bomb in people's pictures. After pictures we went to dinner at Cenzettis which was a great great buffet and if you're reading this, I want to eat there again. The dance was pretty fun and afterwards I went to another peer's house for a small gathering until about 2am, when I left to go to a friend's house where I slept over.
