Begin Drafting Paper #2

Which two teachers will you write about and why?

At this point in time, I am planning on writing about the main teachers we have been studying during unit 2 of this class: Mr. Jamie Escalante from the movie "Stand and Deliver" and Professor John Keating for the movie "Dead Poets Society".  I feel that I have ample material to write formal paper #2 from the resources I have compiled from watching the movies.  I will be a big feat trying to narrow down my notes to be within the 1,200-1,500 word count required while retaining the most important information.

I had originally wanted to write a paper using two personal teachers.  It has been so long since I have been in grades K-12, almost 25 years, and I have not been inspired as to which teachers I could write about.  I have given it much thought.  I would have to liberally use my imagination in order to have enough material to cover the word requirement.

I will begin drafting my paper after I watch the movies one more time while editing my notes to gain more detailed information such as quotes and character names.  I also have to think of a strong thesis statement.  It has to be worded just perfectly.  I am not prepared at this time to blog post the beginning of paper #2.  After re-reading WS 19-22 I plan to work diligently on an outline.  I also plan on studying WS 31-35 closely, as I wish to write my paper in chronological order according to the storyline of the movie, although I may have to make changes if I want to do a point by point comparison of each teacher.  I hope I can get my head together and write a wonderful paper worthy of a good grade.
