PB3: WP3 Prep

Part 1: Reflect on your powerpoint presentation.
When reading everyones feedback, I found out a lot of different ways that I can improve my ACURA project. A lot of the feedback said that I should have focused on one specific drug to get down to the smallest nesting doll and I agree completely. I should not have stated the other "heavy drugs" that could also apply to this, but rather just focus on one drug, like Heroin. I definitely know that, for next time, I should practice my presentation more so that I feel more confident in what I am saying and then I will not use filler words such as "like". Something that someone said in the feedback that really caught my attention, was thinking about how the poverty of people could relate to the drug addiction. This interested me because I never really thought about how different poverty levels could be effected differently with drug addiction and how they are influenced.

Part 2: Updated version of my research question.
How does todays youth become influenced and react to Heroin addiction?

Part 3: 7-10 scholarly journal articles.

PB2A: Exploring Your Existing Interests and Locating Scholarly Journal Articles

I am majoring in Secondary English Education, but I have always had an interest in Psychology and learning more about what someone has todo to become a Psychologist. I have always been really intrigued by the way a Psychologist views the mind and how they have the capability to understand and help many different types of problems that people are dealing with. A Penn State Abington researcher that I found interest in is Laura Orrico. As I was reading about her interests and research, I found out that she is very in to the concept of studying the way people develop stability under conditions of uncertainty and change. As I kept reading, she also mentioned that over the past four years of ethnographic fieldwork she has studied topics such as: Trust development, knowledge production, community building and how people intersect with daily experiences, homelessness, racial diversity, community policing, and drug and alcohol dependency( mailto:%20laura.orrico@psu.edu  ). She strictly focu...

Annotating in ENG 15

Annotating “teaching thinking” Juliet Ferro When I am annotating, I make sure that I read it all first and look for the most important things in the paragraphs. Once I am done highlighting and reading through the whole paper, I go back to the highlights and I write little side notes that maybe I agreed with it or I have a question about it, or maybe I stated why I thought it was important. I usually star things when I find it really interesting so that I can go back to it. I put question marks next to statements that may confuse me or I have more questions about it. I also am not the type of person to just read something one time and understand it fully. I always read the paper once slowly , trying to understand the full concept, and then I read it again kind of “skimmingly” just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Other people often highlight key words, and not the whole sentence. I feel as if that may not help me understand the full concept, so I would just rather highligh...
