For my research paper, at first I was going to write about tobacco and it's increase or decrease in use because I had to chose a topic that had something to do with public health. But then when I started doing more research on it, I found much more information on the controversy of e-cigarettes. I wrote about that and whether or not they are the healthier alternative to tobacco cigarettes. I did have to narrow my topic down to the e-cigarette so that made it much easier. One of my challenges was keeping my ideas organized, but when I got feedback from my teacher on how to organize them it made much more sense of what I was supposed to do. Another challenge for me was coming up with a thesis and remembering how exactly to write a research paper, because I hadn't done it in a couple years, and even then I was not properly taught how to write one.
The difference between this research paper and the first assignment was that this one you were reporting much more information than the last paper. On the last assignment we had to write about writing, but for this one we got to write about a current event and there was opinion in it as well. I think I liked writing the research paper more because I was able to have my input as well as facts. Also I like writing current events papers because I feel like I am getting much more out of that than I am any other paper.
