This was a topic i was very interested in. I want to show in the best way possible. My essay was about the impacts of expansions of Higway US 290 in Houston. With the traffic already as bad as it is, I evaluated the Short Run/Long Run effects of the construction and what it will do for the city. I am thinking about doing a few things. One idea is that I can make a bilboard that would be loacated off the highway to wear people driving could see. I would make a bold statment with it to get people thinkign about the topic. "Goodbye 290. Starting in 2011
" or somthing to this effect. Second Idea is to make an animated version powerpoint of what they plan to do. Starting from a before picture and using some graphics on there and turning it into an after picture. Im not sure which one of these would be more effective but i feel it will be the billboard. The main audience this is focused at is houstonians and mianly those starting at age 16. Im not sure which approach i am going to take, but whatever way i do i will be sure to make it very effective.

Argument Essay

I am very interested in the topic that i am writting about and it also involves me as well. I am going to write about the construction of highway 290 in Houston, Tx which is one of the major highways in the city. They want to expand the 3 lane highway ( on each side) to a 5 lane highway ( on each side). Though this may seem not significant the impact it will have on the city will be. I think that the this highways benifits outways the cost and negatives. Some say that all i will do is cause problems and frustration in the city, along with worse traffic. I believe that once construction is complete that it will help the flow of traffic and take some of the traffic off other major highways as now there will be more options and room for cars to ride. The question i am going to present is " Will the expansion of highway 290 in Houston benefit the city or hurt it?

Topic for Essay 3

After the freewriting activities in class, i am really at a loss of what my topic can be. This is the first time i have had trouble coming up with a topic. Iv run some ideas through my head but dont know how to go about picking a topic. I want to do somthign that interest me, i was thinking along the lines of sports. Even though i play sports i was thinkin i could maybe do it over fans? but that is a little similar to someones topic from last year. I definently want somthing interesting, and about sports but for right now im not 100% sure what my topic is going to be so hopefully i figure it out before class tomorrow or friday.

Glossing

I think my main issue right now is that I'm taking to much of a stance right off to one side. I think i should provide the reader with more facts and pros and cons from both sides, and also give the reader statistical information that my personal stance. Also there is alot of repetition that i use throughout my essay by using words or sentences that say " humanoid" robots in it. I think i can find another term for these robots maybe droids? I also feel that i can incorporate more personal experiences or examples in my paragraphs to provide structure and stability. The essay flows together well, but some sentence or paragraph arrangements can be done. The themes in my essay are pretty consistent, and the essay ultimately revolves around my topic, i think also i could include some more quotes or paraphrasing. Overall the essay is stable with consistent themes, but could also use some work and revision to make it a better overall research essay.

essay topic 2

For my second essay topic over technlolgy, i have picked the humanoid robot, and its technologically. I think this subject is narrowed down from my original of robitic people from china. There are many topics and debates about thsi subject. One of the most debated topics is what they will do for the economy and community. My question is: Are these humanoid robots or " droids" good for the economy and community? Will they destroy jobs or help production? I think this topic is important because this is were the future lies. Eventually technonolgy will grow so much, that everything will be relied on by computers, maybe even this humanoids. I think this is a solid topic to write about, and most of all it intrest me which makes it easier to research and write about.

essay topic

For my topic i picked something that i am familiar with but still have many questions about, athletics.I want to  explore athletics and show that they can take many places in the world, and even lead you to learn many valuable lessons. I used the techniques that Balangeer suggest in order to come up with my topic, I wrote different ideas out, different memories and then narrowed them down. I still want to find out  the different places athletics can take you and how they can teach us valuable lessons. Overall i feel that this topic should be good, because athletics are a big part in many peoples lives. Personally, things such as rugby and football have taken me places, and taught me things in a different perspective.
