im so behind

I have felt that I have been way behind in class when it comes to this research project and paper we were introduced to. Im not too sure how far along I should be. The most I have come to is what I would like to write about, yet I still need to formulate a good question out of my theme. My theme I think, so long as Mr. McGuire gives it the nod, will be control. I think the idea can be broad enough. The idea first came to me while we were free-writing in class last Thursday. We began talking about identy, and I came to the conclusion that we are pretty much given it or born into it; identity for the most part is out of our hands. I feel there is a way to make change, but it requires serious commitment-this doesnt happpen too often.

Broad ideas I can go into when talking about control:
  • Teachers vs. Kids
  • Kids vs. Teachers
  • Kids vs. Kids
  • Admin/Gov/Society vs. Teachers
  • Admin/Gov/Society vs. Kids

Hopefully more ideas and time will come to me, and later tonight I will put together some sort of question/theme by the end of the night and be ready for feedback tommorrow.
