certain change of heart

I think that I am going to change my graduation project to writing a book and how to get it publish and how to create a charity. But someones else is doing that project so I might have to stick to my original plan to do the show and just write books on the side but it might look odd for a political report to write children's books.

Foundation Questions

1.Where should I board cast my show?

2.Who will be my net work?

3.What will be my Forum?

4.Should there be a group of all women and all men or should it be a mixture of both?

5.How many people will be in my conversation group?

6.What makes the opinion of the youth so much different than those that are older if there is much of a difference?

7.Will I go to high schools or colleges or both to get the opinion of our youth?

8.To get the view of those that are older what age group will I use 30-50 or younger or older or those that are above the age of 18?

9. Where am I going to get the skills and the information that I need in order to be able to do the show ?

10. Where will I get the founding if I need it will I need founding?

Change of heart

I started to change my mind I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue to do my project on politics it was starting to become to hard of a subject to do. Because I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to research and how and where I was going to do it. But now I got it , it didn't make any sense but what I am basically doing is becoming a news reporter. So what I have to research is how to be able to do research and be able to pick out the bits and pieces I need to put together a piece for my show as well as learning how to run a t.v show. And when ever there is a current event that I want to do I learn about the subject the laws and politics that deal with it and conduct interviews with people in power.

Letter to "the king"

Yesterday I was in class working on class assignment which was a letter about what and how I was doing my graduation project. Therefore I didn't really get a chance to do any research on my graduation project other than read an article I had found with the help of Ms. King (teacher).
