Change is back!

Well I have changed my research paper back to the original topic and format. My plan is to make the second part of my paper fit with the first part of my paper. The paper is ultimately about collaboration and half of the paper is about the world changing. I must include these facts because my points cannot be proven without them. I have decided to not put quite as much emphasis on 21st Century skills. I will interview my father about his business so that I will have something to connect the first part of the paper with the last. Mr. Hinds gave me the idea and I am excited to get it done this weekend. I will not do it during Thanksgiving.

21st Century Skills is the New Topic... Scratch Collaboration

I have gotten my research paper back and have realized that my thesis is not proportionally equal in topics to the rest of my paper. It would be too drastic of a change for the paper to be rewritten; so instead, I will rewrite the thesis and organize the paragraphs accordingly. I spent this last friday helping Danny Seyffer with his senior project. I chose to help him for two reasons. The first reason is that I love doing the work and I would do it for any of my friends. The seconds is that one should never expect help on his own project until he has helped someone else. I am planning to finish the research paper this weekend so that I will have it finished before Thanksgiving. Along with two other papers and various other homework assignments, I must finish my work as soon as possible so that I can actually spend my Thanksgiving with my family (that is if I don't die trying to make it to Thanksgiving). I have decided to change my thesis to "21st Century Skills" instead of focusing strictly on Collaboration. I feel that I have already written in depth about each of the 21st Century skills, and I want to keep my focus on the idea that our world is changing. Until next time.

Searching for supplies...

I am actually looking to start the construction of the activities I plan to do in the Spring. I am excited to shop around and plan how I want to build the activities. Hopefully, I will not have too much trouble determining the exact calculations for the project. I plan to spend some time next weekend examining the different choices in materials for these structures. I need to probably start collecting my thoughts for the manual that I must prepare. It should probably be written already when I introduce the activities to the children. This seems like a good idea because it lets Mrs. Myers be on the same page as me when we begin to run the activities. I am excited to have turned in my paper and I actually appreciate the subject that I researched. I have been able to include my topic into many conversations, as well as in my thought processes for future work-related decisions. I have discovered that engineering is a highly competitive field and that I probably would do well not to enter that field of study. I am leaning toward the option of business because I am interested in Economics and the different aspects of how a company runs. It will be interesting to see what advice I receive when I get my paper back.
