Shy Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 [size=1]It is springtime, and do all of you know what that means? No not romance... research papers! I have been searching the local library and internet trying to find plenty of information about Japanese Internment Camps (the topic for my paper) and I realized I can't possibly be the only person on the boards who is forced to do these things. So I am wondering what your research paper is about, and how you came up with your topic.[/size]

boris Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 well, as you know i have to do mine on greta garbo... well, its not that bad, un like last year when i had to research bubble gum, and its health factors.... ooo, that was so much fun......
Dan L Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 Research Papers?? What?? Is this some thing that kids in america do that kids in the uk don't do... I mean, yes, I've heard of research papers, but the ones I'm thinking of, I won't have to do til I have a phD.... yes... it's official.. one day I will have a phD... hopefully in 6 years :drunk:
boris Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 well, yeah, here in the us, we have to do a research paper, all 4 years of high school. one each year, makeing 4 papers:eek:
Guest Shift Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 My reseach paper was about...i think it was the country of Tuvalu...yep that's pretty much the only one i had this year.
shibatku Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 Thats the only one you had this year. I've had like 20. The one right now I just finished was over the book great expectations. I severly dislike how in order to get a grade I have to read stuff like that. I also have three coming up one on each chapter in Geograpghy.(dislike that class)
Guest Shift Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 Well shiba, i have had things like book reports and speeches...but that doesn't really count as a research paper.

Sara Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 [FONT=century gothic]My topic is the totally awesome Dr. Seuss![/FONT]
RicoTranzrig Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 [COLOR=darkblue]Hey, Grapes Of Wrath...I remember doing that last year...timed...it was hell trying to write all that stuff in 120 minutes...Right now I'm doing a chapter-by-chapter analysis on Rain Of Gold 21 chapters, 21+ pages...then for Economics I'm doing a paper on the Enron scandal.[/COLOR]
Fall Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 This sounds like some sort of a project. We always get projects.... all round the year... :( But, I've never gotten a "research paper"..

BabyGirl did you ever read The Pearl? It's also by John Sitenbeck. We had to read it in school and I actually enjoyed it.
