Grab A Computer for Math’s Sake• We will be doing some preliminary research on our topics

for the REST OF THE SEMESTER!!!!!

• Tips:• Pick something that is important to you!!!!

• If you don’t, you will be bored as the semester rolls on

• Pick a BROAD subject that you can narrow!!!!• If you pick something TOO specific at this point, you wont be able to write

3 or 4 papers on the subject very easily

• Pick the job you want when you’re a big boi or gurl (Maybe)• Hopefully this will be broad enough to carry you through and be

interesting enough to hold your interest• If not…then you know that maybe that this isn’t the job for you (if it cant

keep you going for 14 weeks it wont keep you happy for the rest of your life)

Our Papers• 1) Extended Definition

• ????- NEXT

• 2) Research• ????

• 3) Compare Contrast • ????

• 4) Argument • ????

EXTENDED DEFINITION RESEARCH
