Finally Finishing the First Draft!

Over the course of the past week I had to turn my outline into a rough draft. It took a lot of time and it was hard to be able to finish it on time, but I was able to do it. I looked over my research in my outline I found that it was in fact very helpful. In the end I had about ten and a half pages and a citation page. I am now just really excited that the first draft is done and that we will start revising our rough drafts soon.

Outlining for the Paper

Well over the course of the pat week I have really organized the 80 or more notecards I have. I organized them into different groups and started to form them into topics. I also with these cards formed a working outline, which has helped me significantly. Now this upcoming weekend I will begin a sentence outline with this working outline and it will form everything in sentence form. Overall, I do have to say with writing two different outlines that I think it will really help me on the research paper and it really helps organize all my data and thoughts I have collected.

Continuing the Research

This past week I have continued my research and I am almost done with the research too. I also have a thesis as well, which is the following paragraph. Due to different learning styles, schools need to implement an early educational philosophy that allows each child to absorb information in a way that brings out their individual strengths and also enhances their learning capabilities. Charlotte Mason is one of these philosophers and following this program, as well as incorporating a strong hands-on approach to engage students natural sense of curiosity of how things work, will instill a sense enthusiasm one can carry on throughout adulthood. Overall, my thesis insures what I will discuss in my research paper, and tomorrow in English will start our outline for the paper.

Researching My Topic

Lately I have been collecting resources for my research paper. I have around 8 sources and actually a majority of the sources are books. I have gone to the library and have ordered books from college libraries. Along with the research I have been putting the information I gain from reading these sources and putting them on index cards. Overall, I have found numerous resources and need to have about one hundred source cards by next friday, by then I should have enough card because the sources I have are very resourceful and accurate.
