First I would like to thank Mrs. Savido for helping me realize that I've already done my action plan. I am happy that I don't have to worry about it, but I must admit I was kind of excited about starting a teen online newspaper. I think I still might do it. I actually must thank Mr. Hamilton of helping me develop the idea of starting a online newspaper.
I guess I can't worry about that right now anyway since I still have a ton of work to do. I need to request books from the library, find more info online, and finish up my proposal and outline. Hopefully all this can be done by next Tuesday in the first half of class. I don't have time to keep playing catch up at this point.

Thank GOD!
I knew I needed something to get my brain juice flowing, because that I have an awesome action plan, I know a lot more about what I'm researching. All I need to do is get my thoughts together and I'll actually have an essential question. YAY ME!
Mercy Mercy Me
I NEED an essential question, because I am so lost as to what I have to research. Everything I type into the search box just returns articles written by teens, so I think my best source is going to be interviews with people. I have several different people that I could interview, but the problem is getting into contact with them, and them having the time. Mrs. Savido/Mr. Hamilton and I need to have a sit down really bad so I can get moving on this project or I'm worried that I'm just going to have to go back to my old one.
I know I can get it done, and get it done well, but I need a lot of help right now.

Restart!
I most certainly do not want to restart my whole project, but journalism is what I am really interested in and I think I'll do really well on this project...I just wish I would have thought of it ALOT earlier.
for now, these are my starting ideas that I need to narrow down so I can get moving...
