RJA #15 Reflection

I have learned many things over the time of the semester. The number one thing I have learned is how exploring legit sites can help more than anything when researching a topic. I liked that we had to blog it kept my ideas out and open and not just locked up in my head. I want to thank all the people who helped my paper develop. I am going to use many of the links that have been introduced to me, those being zakata guide mostly.

Chpt. 14 Application Project Progress Report

The application project I have decided to go through with is the news article option from the list of different application projects. I am going to write a news article on steroids, I am not sure which one I am going to do now but one part of the article will be about the athlete caught using steroids. The second half of the article is spiced up drama news that every magazine tries to bring out. This is what my project is going to be over, and how it is going to be setup.

I have completed many of the beginning stages of the application project. I have found my sources, and chosen the best overall. I have completed a detailed outline of what I want my article to have in it and how it should be presented. I have read some other news articles to see how they get the readers attention. This is what I have accomplished on my application project, over steroids.

I still need to get a final copy of my aplication project. I need to come up with a title for my news article. I really want and need to get the project setup the same way that the outline is howing. I will have my paper done for sure by friday. This is what I need to do to finish my application project over steroids,

RJA # 13 Application Project

After thinking about what I want to do with my application project, I have decided that I would write my family and a old coach a letter. The letter will inform them about all my research I have done on steroids and the use of them. The letter will also let them make there own opinion about all the information. I hope this letter can open eyes and see that this is a very serious situation in sports and athletes lives. This is what I am going to do for my application project.

http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/drugfact/steroids/steroids_ff.html

This website is designed by the government, the division is national drug control policy. This is the best site I have looked at because it gives so many numbers of how many people that have began to use or even try steroids. This site will be so helpful to to use for my argumentive paper, because this is the best information that I have found.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/magazine/03/11/steroids1/index.html

This site is the best sporting news in the nation, it has all the cases of all the professional athletes and their steroid use. I am going to use this site to get a lot of compare and contrast for these cases. I really enjoy this site because that it gives both sides of the story, it is not one sided. I am going to use this site because this is going to be the best to get the true stories of the athletes.

Steroid nation is a site that I am going to use because it has a very professional doctor outlook to anabolic steroids. I know that this gives some for sure information about the benefits, side effects, and the horrible damages that it causes. I am going to use this site for reassurance that they are good for a little but then overall very bad. I will use steroid nation in my arguementive paper.

I am going to use a personal interview that I did a couple weeks ago. The interview is with a friend of my dads that had the benefits and the fall of steroids. I think this is great information about the use of steroids and how they are addictive. I have to keep him annoymous but he was very open with me and the information he gave out. I will use all of his information in my argumentive paper.

RJA #10 ideas for application project

1.If I do a news article I would want to do one just like espn or sports illustrated. All about the sports stars getting caught using steroids.

2. If I did a scene play I would want to write it out just like a press conference, with replies and questions.

3.If I wrote a editorial I would just state my opinion of the subject, which would be so against the use of steroids.

4.If I was to do the journal entries i would play as one the professional athletes, writing about the mistakes that he had made and how he wishes he could take it out .
