I feel like I have made a lot of progress toward completing my written component about comparing public and private schools. I have developed a thesis and an outline and I plan to try to prove my thesis through interviews. After I do the interviews as well as extensive research, I will be ready to write my paper in support of my thesis. In order for others to really understand the significance of my topic, I plan to interview all types of people from different backgrounds. The variety of opinions will show how controversial this topic truly is and will ultimately answer the question, “is private school worth it?” As for my artifact, I want to create something visual since my project will mostly be interviews, research, and writing. I could make a poster/collage of pictures, interviews, or articles that relate to my topic. Or I could create a painting that shows the contrast between private and public schools. I will consult with Lore, the art teacher, to help me think of visual ideas to portray my topic.
