BLOG #9 2/7-2/11

1/2 block only...



Let's start thinking about our BIG OLD RESEARCH PAPER. You get to pick the topic you will write about. The only requirement is that you research an issue in the Bill of Rights. Maybe you will write about banning the Death Penalty, or reducing gun control laws. Maybe you will research corporal punishment or maybe you will write about school uniforms. This is your choice but you must pick wisely, as you will be living with this topic for several weeks.

For this blog, I want you to brainstorm some topic choices and ask for feedback from the class. Your post must be two sentences minimum in length, but please return to respond to others!


As always, blog By Friday morning!

  2. I think my topic is going to be about the death penalty and how they shouldnt have it because it doesnt give people a second chance what do you think about my decision on this one, does it sound convincing?
    thanks,

  3. I'm pretty sure I'm going to do my research paper on the Death Penalty. It's a good topic because there are so many pros and cons on this topic, and you really have to think hard to decide on what side you are going to be on. I'm still going to see what other topics you share this week, to make my final choice on what topic I want to do.

  5. I think I'll probably do the death penalty as my research paper explaining why I think that we should keep the death penalty, but since a lot of people are doing it, I might not. I can write a lot about this topic because I have a strong opinion on it, but once again, everyone's doing it.

  7. I think I am doing my paper on the right to bare arms, it seems like a bid deal because of all the different opinions, because at the binging I thought guns should be out law but now it seams it would be like taking away being safe

  8. I am planning on doing my report on gun control and the 2nd amendment. I will cover how laws need to be a lot stricter to help prevent criminals from getting firearms and of course the people who think that there should be less laws. I personally think there should be way stricter rules on purchasing guns so it will be difficult to write an unbiased paper.

  10. Georgia- your switch to the 14 amendment and gay marriage is a good one. I think your voice will be heard and that you will find it an interesting debate. Best of luck- Mrs. Nadell

  11. Ian-

    Your paper should be BIASED it is a persuasive paper- I want it very biased. You will acknowledge the other side in your 3rd body paragraph but then you will show us why they are wrong. So if you feel strongly about this subject- then be as biased as you want!- MRs. Nadell

  12. Well I kinda figured out my topic in class, but I'm doing gay marriage. It doesn't fit in the first 10 amendments but it goes with the 14th ammendment.

    Georgia, the 14th amendmant will help you.

    Majority of the class seems to be either doing Death penalty or gun control and I guess those would have to be the second and eighth amendment.

  13. I'm going to do my article on the death penalty for juveniles. One thing that i could need help on is some more websites that i could find jevenile death penalty articles instead of just death penalty articles.If anybody can help me with that it would be nice.

  16. I am doing the paper on gun ban. I am being specific about the banning of assault rifles. I believe that assault rifles should be banned, because it is scarier if someone is pointing a AK47 at you, rather than a hand gun.

  18. Ian... I totally agree with you on the gun control. I think that if they make a law that makes it almost impossible for criminals to get guns, then the rest of us wouldn't have to walk around with a gun to protect ourselves.

  19. My research paper is about the death penalty. I will be on the side that i think death penalty is bad and cruel and unusual punishment. vlad

  20. Bronte: I can shoyou this website that has tons of good stuff on Death Penalty.


    I am going to do mine of dress code, but I'm not sure what other kids think about it. Is it a big deal to you guys what we wear? Or are you guys more carefree? It would be to know some advice :)

    Xoxo, Kelly Le.

  22. My topic is about cyberbulling because I feel very strong about the fact that the should change the 1st amendment to make freedom of speech allowed but it cant harm others.
