Multi-Genre Papers

Today I skimmed and read through quite a few papers. The papers I couldn’t stand were the ones that were about 35 pages long and based on a book. I don’t really know how you can write about a book. I can kind of see if you can relate your topic you’re interested in and it’s in a book you’ve read in the past. A couple papers really caught my attention. “Crumbled Creativity” by Katie Shinkle was really interesting. I’m interested in becoming a teacher so when I saw how this school board wanted them to JUST focus on test scores it was wrong and the teacher saw this and had the students write a “This I Believe” paper, how ironic. The teacher changed the syllabus and the way she taught her students. I’m not quite sure if I want to write about teaching or not. I also was really intrigued with the “Living thin: One girl’s fight for a Full life”. I’ve always been interested in eating disorders and I’ve read several books about them as well. I’d somehow like to possibly incorporate both in my paper. I am really interested in eating disorders, although I’ve never been through the experience myself, the story was very interesting and intriguing.
