In thesis, the guidelines for the midterm paper were finally posted on Edmodo, so I spent the entire class period going over them, reading the sample papers, and deciding how to best approach the assignment. I looked over my annotated bibliography - since I knew I'd be using those same sources for this paper - and I thought about how to use those sources in my paper. So far, I think what I'm going to do is focus on the need for child education; for this paper, I'm going to use my sources (many of which are from Pratham USA directly) to explain why child illiteracy in India is such a big problem; to support this argument, I'll incorporate some statistics straight from the Pratham website. I might also discuss the ways in which Pratham's work in India is addressing this issue and helping to promote child literacy and education instead. Now that the brainstorming/thinking stuff is done, next class, I'm going to actually start typing the paper.
Also, side note: I found out this evening that I got into the Plan II honors program at UT Austin! I'm super excited and incredibly relieved, now that I know I have a (very good) fallback in the event that none of my other college apps work out the way I'd like them to.
