Extra, extra, read all about it

Kara and I met today. We worked on our outlines together. It was very difficult, and I felt like mine was very vague, but I have to wait until I have more answers from research. We both kind of struggled with the outlines, since we have lots more researching and work to do!

Research paper outline

I. Intro. - I will pull my reader in with a clever story from my research. Then, lead up to my research question.... which is:
In the midst of all the negative things in Second Life, is it possible to get a true education?

II. Body
A. first main point.
1, 2, 3 examples within that first main point.. more details about the examples I find.

B. second main point.
same as above.

C. third main point.
same as above.

III. Conclusion...
I will talk about what I've found. I can't really write much of this yet, it's going to depend on my research. But, I'll state what I find, and if I think SL has an option of really learning things or not. I think with my information, I will probably find that although there are lots of places that are for entertainment or personal purposes, there are some ways to get an education. I will just have to look around, and see with my research how my opinion turns out.

The beginning of my Research Paper...

My topic will be Education.

Research question:
In the midst of all the negative things in Second Life, is it possible to get a true education?

Extra credit

Kara and I met today. We talked about our new topics for the research paper. She is going to write about Sexuality and I'm going to write about Education. We can help each other out with research and stuff because I've already written about Sexuality, and she has written about Education!

Extra credit (Monday and today)

Kara and I met on Monday and forgot to post! We talked about how we're approaching our papers, and what we are going to do differently from our first paper. We helped each other get started. We didn't get any research done in SL since it was down! sad day.

Today I showed Kara my intro. paragraph and how I'm coming along. Kara showed me her start to her paper. We both are bummed since SL is still down! boo.. Today I'm just continuing to research outside of SL.

Thesis numero dos

Sexuality in Second Life is similar in many ways to sexuality in real life: it's geared towards both men and women, where it takes your mind, and just like in real life men tend to dominate in the sexual relationships.

And so it begins again..

Today Kara and I met at 10 o' clock in the Black Sun. We discussed what we are writing our papers on, and how we are getting started on our thesis statements. Kara is writing her second paper on Education.
