Approval

Today, my project idea was approved by my teacher, and I will now be able to begin my fourth marking period project! I decided to research Dr. Seuss for my project, which is based off of my book illustration idea. Last week I came up with the idea of creating my own Dr. Seuss-like book with my own rhymes and illustrations for my creative project. Now that I have my creative project idea down, I am going to begin my research paper because the due date for the research paper is much sooner than the due date for the creative project. So, for this week my goal is to find out as much as I can about Dr. Seuss, read as many books of his as I can, and hopefully start my opening paragraph this week.

Beginning Thoughts of my Fourth Marking Period Project

For the fourth-marking period the assignment is to look up any topic that has never been discussed in my English class that I would like to learn about. Yes, it is awesome that I get to research any topic that I would like, and I’m sure that it will make my project easier to complete; however, English is not my favorite subject, and I am having difficulty finding an interesting topic to research. Over the weekend, I started thinking about possible topics to research. I began to think that researching books that were made into movies would be fun because who wouldn’t want to watch a movie for their English project? Later, I realized that I do not have enough interest in the topic to do a project. So I began to think and ask myself, what am I interested in, and what do I like to do? Art was one of the first things that came to my mind, and book illustration soon followed my thoughts about art. What if my project was about book illustrations? It is a topic that I would love to spend my time researching through the whole fourth marking period. Now that I have a topic I need ideas on what I should discuss in my research paper as well as what I should do for my creative project. This week I will find websites to help me find ideas for my research paper, and I will think of ideas for my creative project. I’m going to try and find some websites from credible sources like Britannica Online as well as Historical Newspapers and Questia.
