My research is going pretty well right now. I might need a few more sources for one topic for the answer to my question, but I have found all of my other sources easily. The easiest parts of the project so far has been finding and pulling information form the sources. Either I am very interested in the topic of the Holocaust, or reading comprehension is something I excel at, or both. I am enjoying the learning part of this project, but I am not looking forward to writing my paper.
The struggles I am running into or have come across in the past couple weeks have been random. The first problem I had was finding primary sources. I eventually found some after around 20 minutes of digging, I figured out that my search terms were not corresponding to what I wanted to find. The second problem I had was coming up with a question. I thought about it for a long time and eventually I asked Ms. Howell for help and we went through and found a common thread throughout my sources. I used the common thread of inhumane treatment and psychology to come up with the question of: What were the inhumane events the Jews went through in the Holocaust and how did it affect them? The last problem I seem to be having is the usual work ethic is not there for this project when it comes to the notecards. I'm not really sure why, I mean notecards are useful to achieve the overall goal of writing this paper. But overall I think this project is going well and I will try to bring my work ethic to these notecards and get them done.
