I met with Dr. Sullivan last Friday and like everyone else we discussed my profile on Lynn Brakke and my position statement idea. I found Lynn's life to be very interesting and got a little carried away with the writing as you know if you were in class last Tuesday.
I was thinking about what to write my position statement on and have come down to two topic choices, either Bio fuels (biodiesel in particular) or Conventional farming vs organic farming. I find that the bio fuels industry is taking off and is very interesting as well as an important figure in keeping our natural resources available for future generations. As of now I am still not entirely sure on where I stand when it comes to organic vs conventional but perhaps I can come to a decision and draw my position statement from that. As I have been doing my research I have noticed that there are several myths that go along with both organic and conventional farming as far as yields are concerned. I have yet to find a whole lot on biodiesel but haven't really look too hard so I am sure the info is out there cause now a days you can find anything on Google.
I also just wanted to say that this class links assignments to everyday life and not just textbooks which is a very interesting way of teaching.
I was talking to my boyfriend this past weekend about my final assignment (position statement) in my English 120 class and noticed as we were talking that he was wearing a bio fuels had so I asked him where he got it and he said from a place that he had to deliver soil samples for work to. Then we got to talking about how big the bio fuels industry was becoming and how the biodiesel industry was taking off and all that good stuff. It got me thinking about how relevant our English assignments really were to everyday life.
OK well before I write a complete novel just wanted to share that little story with you. See you on Thursday everyone.
