2/17/07 - Cristy reporting in for AP III

No one has ever done a Liberace paper. and what exactly is "a Liberace"? it's a person. and yes U-2 is actually referring to the plane, possibly the plane that saw the nuclear missiles in Cuba.... not the band...shucks, darn. just kidding. Soo in class today we worked on the concept of widdling down a subject area to a more specific, manageable topic. This is probably one of the trickiest parts to the entire process. Mr. Lazarow's advice? pick something you already like or feel interested in. Make sure you keep in mind that we need to write a 10 page paper. not a 100 page paper and not a 2 pager either. We went over the homework where we found topic matters in larger subject areas like "cats" or "recent films".

Example of how to pick a topic....

wheel of fortune
game shows
audience participation
reality TV
The writer's strike


*** Assignment: Notecard on which you have narrowed down a subject area to one topic. This Topic Identification card is worth about 10 pts and although its not completely permanent you should stand behind it with a considerable amount of comittment.

* Notices! dont forget your AP $ if u plan on taking the AP test.
