My final topic that I ended up choosing was foodborne illnesses and how the FDA plays a role. I have a solid five pages done with thick paragraphs that are usable for my final draft. I got most of my draft done over the previous weekend, knowing that I had a math test the same day the draft was due. So with time management, I productively found myself on my laptop, researching the afternoon away.
A big part that I have to work on is setting a thesis statement, as well as organizing my paragraphs to support my overall thesis. I just need to take the weekend to organize my paper and start perfecting it for my final.
I also have to incorporate the citations for the handful of articles that I used, with also finding a balance between using too many articles, or not using enough. With that being said, my works cited page is ready to go! I am aware that citations are my weaknesses, and that I really need to take the time to make sure they’re integrated correctly.
Although, I find myself still not having a set question, and I need to use those stasis questions to really squeeze out a question. If anyone can help me propose my question, I was thinking about asking “How does the FDA play a role in foodborne illnesses?” but I am not confident that there is a correct answer to my question or if it sounds a bit odd or funky. If anyone can help me or give me reassurance to use this question, that would be great!
Like you, I still don't have a set question. I tried to take Mrs. Fletcher's advice on just writing our paper and the question should write itself. The question that you have written above sounds great, but I think I'd need to read your paper to make sure. If you want me to read your paper sometime this week I'd be more than happy too!
ReplyDeleteIt depends on if you are researching how the FDA can prevent it and what the FDA can do in response to it. If it is both, I think the question could be "How can the FDA regulate foodborne illnesses?", if that sounds better.
