Reflection of My Sources :)

I appreciate those who took the time to research this way before this project was thought of. I don't think I would have made it without them. These sources guided me through a tumultuous month and a half, and they opened my eyes to new things about hip hop. I'm really thankful for http://www.citationmachine.net/index2.php?regstyleid=1&newstyle=1 for helping me with my citations. The paraphrasing site http://www.coedu.usf.edu/~dorn/testdiff.html without it, I probably would have done a horrible job at paraphrasing my quotations. Thanks to everyone who helped me come up with a clear topic, special props to Ms. McKoy for making life so much easier for me :)

Reflection on "The Process" -_-

When Ms. McKoy told us that we had a research paper to do, I was down for it... Come to find out, it had to be a BLOG!!! It wasn't easy coming up with a topic because there was so much to talk about, but I'd eventually came up with the idea to do my project on what I love the most... music. Doing the research was so difficult because there were too many blogs and not enough sources, so I had to broaden my topic and turn it into a two-sided question. All in all I found a wide variety of opinions and facts from artists themselves and information from musical geniuses. I'm really proud of myself and the outcome of this blog, and hopefully, it won't look too shabby ;)

Wordle #2 :)

Reflection On Findings Paragraphs

When I first started this project, I never realize what I was getting myself into. Of course, I kind of had an idea of what I had coming for me, I just figured it wouldn't be that serious, and just something to get done. Doing this research changed my whole outlook on hip hop and the negative and positive effects it had on children. I would have never thought that it would have such a powerful impact on young black children; however, I was strongly disappointed because I wanted to make this topic as diverse as I could, but I couldn't find any statistics about other nationalities besides African-Americans. I just hope that people from all over find my topic interesting and fun, just like I did.
