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.

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 .

RJA #10 b Progress report

What I have accomplished.

I have accomplished so many things with this paper many of those are just getting more knowledge about the subject that I am really into, and that is steroids. I also have accomplished finding so many good resources to help get my information out so you do not get overwhelmed with it. I have found so many good sites that have helped me with so much information that I need for this paper, since I am trying to make this paper the best I have ever written. I have accomplished doing each assignment each week.

What I still need to do.

I still have a lot of work to make this paper the way I want it to be. I still need to bring all my work together and make things flow together. I still need to find some key points that I want off of my outline. I still need to come up with a good title, and also need to make my thesis a little bit more realistic, so it can work with what I am trying to get out in this paper. I really need to go more into my side of the research and what I am arguing. I need to start doing my work more spreaded out and not working on it in one day.

Calendar

My calendar is very easy because I just need to do a little work whenever I get time and not putting it off to the last minute. I just want to make sure that I am not working on it the night it is due.

This is a great site that i am going to use for my argumentive paper. This site is This site gives me the edge on who uses steroids and where it is used. The site has a lot about the professional sports and the athletes that abused the privelages that they had. This is some of the reasons why I am going to use this site for my Research.

www.teendrugabuse.us/teensteroids.html

This site is all about teens and how steroids are abused at a young age. Since my paper is a mostly about should adults be able to use steroids, and how teens should not at all. This site talks about how harmful steroids can be to the young developing bodies. This site is the perfect site for my research because it hits so many points of my outline. This is one of the sites that I will use to get my research for my final draft of my paper.

http://www.sptimes.com/2005/02/21/Sports/_Roid_rage.shtml

I really like this site because it gives the reasons why young people look at steroids as beneficial. The site talks about how teens look at the people using steroids, and how all they see is how the use makes people break records, make more money, and also gain so much fame. The site talks about how if this is what steroids show young people, then how do we get the point of how bad they are across. I am going to also use this site to get much of my research for my final paper.
