My questions about gay rights will fulfill my assignment and my research because I asked multiple questions.I think that at least some of my questions will be answered and if i get answers that will spark more question. I believe that they can be answered and even if its not a question i asked myself, it will help my assignment.

My questions can be answered my investigation. I think my doing research and getting information from sources, especially primary, i'll be able to find out a lot of information and my questions will be answered. Even if the questions that i thought of specifically aren't answered, I think that reading other things with spark other questions and go deeper into my topic.

Why am I doing this research?

I am doing this research to learn about something more in depth. I learned how to use different websites and find different sources of information. I think that doing this research about my own topic and also being able to do more topics is helpful for college and going into the world knowing so much about different things.

I know enough about my topic and the idea of my topic to ask more questions about it. I want to ask people how they feel about it, and I also came across a new topic within gay rights that i'm interested in. I think i can learn more about that and once I understand it more I could ask good questions more to the primary source or to people that have been around transgenders/gays.

What background information will help you get an overview of my topic?

Background information that will help me understand my topic more could be primary sources. I could get peoples feelings towards things like not being able to marry or not be able to adopt. I think that getting gays opinions will help me and i could get a feel to what gays feel like when they are outcasted.

I would consider myself an interpersonal and intrapersonal learner. I enjoy working with other people and hearing what they learned and what they have to say but I also like using my own brain and doing the work by myself. I think that it depends on what kind of work were doing and if I think it requires others helps and opinions or if it just requires my knowledge. I feel that certain things I cant do and I have trouble doing and I know where I'm weak and i'm strong in, so I can figure out if I want to work with others or by myself knowing what the topic at hand is.
   I find it very difficult working in groups for projects or classwork because most people go off topic. There are groups that don't know each other and wind up working seperaetly, groups that are good friends and don't stop talking or groups that actually do the work. I think that people are more than capable, especially seventeen year olds, to pick out their group of people that they know they will work good with. Some of the time the teachers pick the groups and its hard for the students that want to get the work done or the students that usually do all the work themselves. I believe that times like these I would be a intrapersonal learner.
    I find the trouble with being an intrapersonal learner is that you'll take longer to complete the classwork or project and you won't have the different thoughts of your classmates. Being an intrapersonal worker and being able to work by yourself can come in handy for college.

What confuses me about school? 11/18/13

A lot of things confuse and leave me thinking hours upon hours mainly because I don't think there is an actual answer to my thoughts. One thing that really confuses me is to why we don't learn about life in school. Teachers teach us the things that we need to know to pass classes and to succeed in college. They help us search for colleges, pinpoint what were good at and teach us things that help us become a better writer or better in math. With the new Common Core coming out and all the parents getting mad over it, I'm starting to agree with them. I don't agree with the common core for the sake of me not liking school work, I don't agree with it because it puts more stress on the student.
    I'm really confused as to why we aren't taught how to pay bills, how to handle a relationship, how to do things that are also used everyday in life besides math and English. I personally think that this is vital for a student because I know people that ask questions like "how do I pay for this" "how can I start my own credit card" etc....These things are important in life and I think that we should be able to ask questions like these to our teachers or have a class that actually prepares us for the real world.
    I decided to write about this because I always have so many questions about life and the things that I need to know for the outside world, like when getting a job or paying for things. School gets us ready for college and jobs but doesn't necessarily prepare us for all important factors in life.
