Conference Notes!
For the first 5 pages of my research project, I focused a lot on discussing about how dangerous cigarette butts are to our environment and how they are polluting the earth. I went on a bit of a tangent and instead of focusing on the controversy of the issue, I just discussed its problems and effects on the government. From talking with Dr. Archibald I was able to see how I didn't fully do the assignment how I should have. Dr. Archibald gave me some ideas on how to make my topic more broad to just pollution, instead of so focused in on the cigarette butt aspect of the pollution. He gave me some suggestions that I should talk about maybe plastic bags in relation to pollution, along with the cigarette butts so that it wasn't narrowed onto one thing. then he told me maybe I could talk about how to make cigarette's healthier for the environment by making them recyclable or biodegradable. It was a lot to think about, but I think I may go the way of talking about how to make cigarettes biodegradable and the controversy of people who say not to because they taste different to smokers.

It seems that your meeting with Dr. Archibald really helped you get on the right track with your paper. I think that now, expanding your topic will allow you to maybe find more information and write more in your paper. Something I learned from reading your blog is that sometimes you may need to expand your topic or even change it to stay on the right track and make your paper better. I think that now your paper will come together better and have more information.
