*****

Today I have been talking to various people about their senior rights and this has allowed me to further my paper.Some people that I have talked to were Sonia, Erin, and Lauren. They said the following: 
Erin: I think we should have them depending on what they are. We should consider community and not lose the sense of community that University has. 
Lauren: I think that we should have senior rights because it is our last year of high school and we deserve something special to look forward to. 
Sonia: I think that we should have senior rights because we have been at University and we deserve it.

Today  I talked to various people about their position on Senior Rights at university high school. I got some opinions that i would not have expected. Many believed that we should have senior rights and I could not find any, today, that believed the opposing view. I hope to find this out tomorrow.

I have made little progress since the last time that I blogged. I have simply been writing my paper and I so far have an introduction paragraph and I have mapped out where i want it to go. I plan on getting sources tonight by asking some people from various high schools in indiana what their senior privileges were, after i do this i will be able to write more in my paper.

Senior Rights

I am just beginning my second paper for the proposal and i am having a small amount of trouble talking about both sides of the argument because I so firmly believe in my own side of the argument. I think i need to question some teachers this week so that i can get a better feel for their side of this issue. By doing this i hope to broaden my horizons and right from a better perspective.

I have once again been researching various senior rights. I talked to my brother who was a senior last year about the rights that he had. I am also thinking about talking to some of his and my friends from various schools because i think that it will be helpful to discuss various views and it will strengthen my proposal.

Proposal 3

I finished typing my paper yesterday and I think that the proposal is coming along well. I have been asking around and many students are agreeing with me that it is necessary for us to have senior rights next year. As i stated in my paper i have also been discussing this with parents and they seem to agree as well. I think that this could help the proposal because it will further the audience of the paper. I think that in my actual proposal i will say that as long as the students earn the right to leave campus and respect it they should be allowed to go. I also think that as long as the parents, who pay for our education, sign a sheet that allows us to go we should be able to.

I.C proposal (progress) 2

I have begun researching different rights and privileges given to seniors in various high schools all over America. I was thinking about writing about the most common privileges that we do not have. 
These Include: 
Right to leave for lunch 
Right to leave during a study hall (or double study hall) 
Special Parking (decorated parking spots) 
Wearing the traditional cap and gown for graduation (possibility) 

I think that I need to find more rights all over America given to seniors in order to make the paper more of a proposal. I also think I am going to talk to the teachers and students. So far my proposal is coming along I just need more facts.
