Presentations are coming up...

So I couldn't post on time yesterday because the internet was down at school, and I had work after school and completely passed out right after work. But what I would have posted is my goals and ideas for the upcoming events that are slowly approaching. The presentation. I'm not sure what I want to do yet for the presentation; however, I do plan on talking about what i've been up to and what my creative project will be. The details such as how the class will participate is still a work in progress, but I'll probably be more concerned about that as June 6th (the day I present) comes closer.

So my creative project is going to be a short story written by a Korean-American, which is me. I wanted to use my own experiences as a Korean-American who's parents immigrated to America, much how many Korean-American authors have done so in the past. I can't promise the quality of it to be as impressive as their works but as a high school senior about to graduate in a month, it should be at least bearable to read.

So this week's goals are the following:
-Start to brainstorm about the presentation
-Start to brainstorm about the short story

this week is so good.

Paper is due friday...

...so the research paper is due this Friday and to be honest I don't think I'm even close to finishing it. From last weeks goals I've managed to start/complete some of them. I started organizing my research and started my introduction paragraph. As for reading Native Speaker, written by Chang-Rae Lee, I'm finding it hard to actually sit down and focus long enough to get into the novel. I should be finished with the book by Wensday, just giving me enough time to add the information extracted from it into my research paper. My goals this week are simple.

Week's goals:
-Finish book by Wensday
-For Tuesday - gather and organize last bits of information
-Finish Research paper

Hopefully this week will be a productive week.

What I plan on doing this week in class.

Throughout this week I plan on:

- Continuing to read the novel, Native Speaker, written Chang-Rae Lee.
- Read and organize the information from various articles found from our school's library database.
- Make a simple and easy outline of the esay
- Start the introduction paragraph.

Even with goals such as these, with AP testing I honestly don't know if I can finish every goal on the list; however, apart from Tuesday's afternoon stats test, if I keep on task during class I should be ok. But due to lack of posting the past two weeks, for those who don't know i'm doing my research paper on Korean-American authors and their contribution to American Literature. From articles I've read so far, apparently Chang-Rae Lee's novel not only allows other Korean-Americans to empathize with the protagonists situation, but also incorporates themes that anyone could relate to. After I finish the novel I hope to start organizing the research I've collected so far and write my introduction paragraph.

This week should be fun....
