  1. WE MUST SEARCH AGAIN!! RE-SEARCH....whoa

    ReplyDelete
  2. I feel I am a proficient researcher and would probably come as a 4. I'm best at actually finding all the information but have some trouble sorting through it and taking notes.

    ReplyDelete
  3. I think that research is a good thing to do in the end because it helps you get a lot more information that you didn't know originally, even if the process may be antaginizing

    ReplyDelete
  4. h8 research but you hav 2 do it

    ReplyDelete
  5. When i hear the word reasearch I automatically think..work. It is not a bad thing, it helps you get the information that you need on whatever you are reasearching. I feel that it is a helpful resource to have but it could also take a lot of time that you might not have.

    ReplyDelete
  6. @Brandon it's spelled antagonizing

    ReplyDelete
  7. I think that I have some small problems searching for information, but I can find facts quickly when I have a source and have to take notes.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I think research is bad but I am #1
    I do not think there is anything easy about it. I am bad at taking notes.
    I find something that is interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  9. When choosing a topic I usually use one of three tactics. If i know anything about the topics, I will choose the one with which I have the most knowledge. If I don't know very much about any of them I will choose either the one that seems the easiest or the most interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  10. It depends on what I am reasearching whether or not it is a topic that I'm confident in. On a scale from one to five i would have to say 3.5

    ReplyDelete
  11. But researching helps at the end

    ReplyDelete
  12. Research is basically copying information in your own words. There isn't anything special or unique about it. In a way, it's just creative plagiarizing

    ReplyDelete
  13. I believe I would give myself a 3.5 on my ability to research. I gave myself this score because a kind find the information but all the websites and eBooks, etc. gets me confused.

    ReplyDelete
  14. @Sam I also have some of the same problems trying to root out a good source. I have found that if you are trying to persuade somebody it is best to site facts from a website that also supports the cause. If you are trying to do a research on a company such as Kellogs, you can look on their website as well as the websites of people who are opposing them.

    ReplyDelete
  15. When I choose a topic to reasearch it is hard to choose my own topic to reasearch because in school its sometimes hard to be able to choose your own topic because a lot of the time a topic is given to you.

    ReplyDelete
  16. @ Amanda.... I agree with you when I hear research I think work and confusion. Hopeful as I get better at researching a finding new sources, it will become a lot less confusing to me.

    ReplyDelete
  17. @Ross
    I just copy stuff and change it around like the way you said.

    ReplyDelete
  18. @Ross I disagree because when you research you have to combine parts of research from several different sources. So what you are doing is taking a portion of the research other people found, combining it with other sources, and then putting it in your own words and seeing how that research from one source compares to research from other sources.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Well, in association with school, I think of projects and a lot of work. But the most common thought that comes to mind is a biography or report about a historical events. Though I do not necessarily like doing projects, especially near the end of the school year, it is not the end of the world to me.

    On another note, I do think I am a decent researcher. (3) I get good information from reliable resources but the hard part is using that information and getting it into a presentable project.

    Choosing a topic is not always easy. I usually try to find something I already know a lot about or something I easily can relate to. But sometimes assigned topics that we got from teachers in the past were hard to really connect with because they were boring or uninteresting or have no relation to us at all. You can't relate an author to a par-kour fanatic... it just wont work. So when I get to actually choose a topic I find something as interesting as possible to me to have some fun with.

    ReplyDelete
  20. @Brandon
    I agree that research helps you a lot but it is not fun to do.

    ReplyDelete
  21. @Ross, in a way I agree with you... creative plagiarizing.

    ReplyDelete
  22. @Mitchell I disagreee with you because most people take a chunk of infromation from a website and that becomes one or two sentences, then the same website or another one it all flows the same way.

    ReplyDelete
  23. When I hear the word research I often think of how much I hate taking notes and I feel pretty bummed out.

    ReplyDelete
  24. @Ross
    You have a point, except that copying someones work is not cool.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Research is good to do and it helps but it is so boring, i'd rather watch paintt dry

    ReplyDelete
  26. When I hear the word research I think of Google and procrastinating. When I hear the word research I don't really feel anything because I don't care. Dude I'm a 4 1/2. The easy part is Googling and the hard part is finding a good source that teachers would approve of. My weaknesses in researching is I always procrastinate and get sidetracked by other stuff. My strength is finding good sources. I choose a topic by just choosing whatever I like and I find interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  27. In truth, I can't make a research project meaningful to me. How can you appreciate something you hate to do?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Research is when you search something for something with the inernet or something like that.
    When it comes to researching I give myself a 5 becuse I have no weaknesses and only strenghs it just depends how hard I try. you can choose a research topic on something that seems interesting

    ReplyDelete
  29. @ Ross...... I definately agrre with you. When you hear a research project, you know when someone actually put effort in their work and when someone just copied and pasted. I believe writing your own stories helps you more than research because of the fact Ross mentioned, it is so easy to plagerize and put no effort in your work.

    ReplyDelete
  30. @Amanda That may be true but each time somebody uses a source they take out everything that they feel is not important and supplements it with pieces of information from other sources.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I would rather stick my eye with thumb tacks

    ReplyDelete
  32. @Sam Read my comment again with your brain turned on

    ReplyDelete
  33. @ mitchell

    i feel the same way when i think of research. bumed out

    ReplyDelete
  34. @Ross
    No need to br mean, I was just trying out my new signing name.

    ReplyDelete
  35. @Sam Just Kidding Laugh Out Loud

    ReplyDelete
  36. @ Nathaniel, how hard you actually try is a weakness...

    ReplyDelete
  37. I think that the best way to make a research project meaningful is to choose a topic that is meaningful already. What you can get out of a research project that is meaningful to you is not only a better understanding of a topic, but also a better understanding of the research process.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Just make it about something you find interesting or want to know its a lot easier to look up stuff you like

    ReplyDelete
  39. To make a reasearch project meaningful you have to choose a topic that means something to you. Or also has an effect on your life. It has to be something that you enjoy researching to be a really great paper.

    ReplyDelete
  40. @ Mitchell I agree with you we both kinda said the same thing of how it has to be something that means a lot to you

    ReplyDelete
  41. If I were to make a research project meaningful to me, I would pick a topic that is intriging to myself so I don't get bored in what I am doing. Out of this, I will have more information about that topic so I have further knowledge in something that sounds interesting to me.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Make it your own and put your own personality in the project. (if it is allowed) Make it stand out and get a better grade than what you actually expected might make it meaningful to me.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I guess the way to make research meaningful is to choose a topic you are interested in or enjoy learning about. You can look up information better because you will enjoy it.

    ReplyDelete
  44. @Brandon I agree, if you choose a topic that you find boring, you will have more trouble with it and get less out of it.

    ReplyDelete
  45. @ Mitchell... I agree with you in that way that research becomes a much easier process when the topic that is intriging to you. You seem like you can learn more from topics that are more interesting rather than something less appealing to you.

    ReplyDelete
  46. @Shane
    I agree with this, being creative can have a great effect on a grade you can recieve, and creative project can be fun to do.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Research projects can be meaningful to me because its a way to work on your researching skills and you can learn and memorize new things. This was you can know new things. It could be extremely useful in the future with work or school or whatever it is you need to know more about. For example, buying a new car and having to compare two cars so you do research on the two cars to find out which car is better for your needs.

    ReplyDelete
  48. A research project will only be meaningful to me if the subject is interesting. I will learn about new interesting things.

    ReplyDelete
  49. i can make a research project meaningful to me by trying to get intersested in the topic i have or if we get to pick a topic, do something that i am intersested in or want to know more about.

    ReplyDelete
  50. @Brandon, I agree Brandon, the only way I can find some connection or meaning in my project is if I have some sort of relevant connection with the topic. If not, it is just a bland, boring report.

    ReplyDelete
  51. @Amanda when you said great paper before I thought you went completely off topic and started talking about plain paper...

    ReplyDelete
  52. @ luc

    luc has a good piont and i agree

    ReplyDelete
  53. @Zully
    I agree with you that researching can be used in everyday life.

    ReplyDelete
  54. The topic I am choosing is solar power. I want to learn the origins of solar power, the ways it has changed over the years, and the future of solar power, as well as the ways it effects us and will effect us in the future.

    ReplyDelete
  55. One of the things that I am thinking of researching is something like animals that are endangered like polar bears and try to relate it to global warming becasue it is such a big issue that is being talked about everywhere. There are a lot of commercials about things like that. I am still thinking of what things I want to stick into my paper. I have a lot of thoughts about what I want to do my topic on but it is going to most likely be something like this because it is something I am so intrested in.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I will choose a topic that is interesting to me. I think I will choose DRAGON BALL Z KAI. I would like to learn how the show started and everything about it. I will use google and maybe some ebooks as sources.

    ReplyDelete
  57. This is dumb. At this point i think that our teachers ran out of things for us to do.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I don't know what I want to do for a topic. I will want to answer questions like "Whats different about this topic?".

    ReplyDelete
  59. I am confident that I have choosen a topic that is interesting to me, but is also intriging to readers in addition. Through my research, my starting point will be Google, just to give me a broad concept on my topic and to give me extra information that I hadn't known already. After that, I will look into books that I have on my topic so I can get additional fun facts that are interesting to the readers and myself.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I don't know what an interesting or suitable topic would be for my report/ research assignment... I am stuck :/

    ReplyDelete
  61. i would feel confident if i researched natural disasters. I would use google to find out things about earth quaks, hurricans, tornadoes etc.... I would ask how they start?, why they start?, how people know when a hurrican/tornadoe is coming? when will they hit in the world most likely?

    ReplyDelete
  62. I will also ask Justin Maier about Dragon Ball Z KAI because he loves the show and watches it everyday.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I think I will choose Genetic Engineering for my topic. I can use google and Genetic Engineering company sites.

    ReplyDelete
  64. My feelings are nothing. I'm kind of struggling with picking my topic though. My thoughts are that it's cool that I get to choose my topic but I wouldn't really care either way. My physical actions are sitting and thinking about a topic and/or meditating because I know that a topic will come to me sooner or later.

    ReplyDelete
  65. @Sam, same, I don't know what the heck to write about but I do want that question answered; "What is different about this topic?" I want to keep my audience awake for when I am up presenting.

    ReplyDelete
  66. And that stuff about people who enjoy researching as "fellow researchers" is a plain bad idea. if that were an actual excuse for a club, it wouldn't last a day. sticking my toes in a blender sounds more fun

    ReplyDelete
  67. Honestly I don't like this idea I was trying to be nice about this but I will say it is better than having some stupid topic assigned to us.

    ReplyDelete
  68. i must collect the dragon balls

    ReplyDelete
  69. @ Sam.... Just find something interesting to you for your topic to make it more fun for you and to help your research move more fluently

    ReplyDelete
  70. @ shane
    think of somethign that is easy to write about and is interesting

  72. A source that would be appropriate for finding information on your topic would include official websites. For example, in my case, I chose Yellowstone National Park, I could go on the National Park Wensite under Yellowstone. Also, in addition to this, you can look up credible books on your topic. This provides you information on your topic and pictures for you to visualy understand the topic.

    ReplyDelete
  73. The results I have recieved so far are good sources for the fact that I went on the official sites for my topic to get first hand information.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I will use trusted websites and books for my research project. I need to use legitiment sources to make sure I do not give out any false information. I will use good information. Good information is fact. There should be no biases.

    ReplyDelete
  75. @Brandon
    Good point, usually using the website of the company/topic you are researching can provide valid information. I am going to find a company website myself.

    ReplyDelete
  76. A good source for my topic (Automotive technology) could be car companies websites, books about the history of cars, and databases.

    ReplyDelete
  77. @ Luc..... I agree with you when you said you need to use legitiment sources to get credible information so you do not get false information.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I would use websites that is trust worthy, and i will also use many books.

    ReplyDelete
  79. @Sam The only problem I can see with getting information form companies websites is that there could be bias that you need to watch out for.

    ReplyDelete
  80. @ Mitchell..... I also agree with you that for your topic, Automotive technology, it would be good to go to car company websites to get resonable information.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I have used trusted websites for good information. I used the school's website to get much of the information.

    ReplyDelete
  82. @james I think you could elaborate a tad more

    ReplyDelete
  83. I use wikipedia, and then check my current information with other websites and sources

    ReplyDelete
  84. Good information is basically information that the teacher likes or finds interesting. Good information is determined by who you work for

    ReplyDelete
  85. @mitchell I like your blog post and how it shows what topic your reasearching, and how you show motivation to do it. Mine is Mechanical Prosthetics

    ReplyDelete
  86. @ ross
    I think you are right. Good information is determined for who you work for

    ReplyDelete
  87. @ Ross
    I also use wikipedia if I want to know what something is about( I start my project with this)

    ReplyDelete
  88. sources that would be appropriate for my research project are trusted websites, and books about my topic.

    ReplyDelete
  89. @ ross

    I agree what ross said, that good info is somthing that your teacher finds interesting

    ReplyDelete
  90. Some sources that would work well for my tpic would be sites that have opposing ideas as well as the other arguiments. Sites where people list the positives and negitives would be useful.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Good information is things from a source that cover most or all of the questions you want answered.

    ReplyDelete
  92. @Luc I agree, using trusted sites and the sites that the school offers are essential. I can use those and not have points taken off.

    ReplyDelete
  93. @james
    Books are a great source to use, as people can't edit books like wikipedia, and books have to have facts unless it is fiction.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I think research can be a very useful tool and my physical actions are typing for information on computers.

    ReplyDelete
  95. @Ross I agree. Since practically all information is from outside sources much of it is just reorganizing stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  96. @Brandon you are right since it's not much fun to write about things that aren't interesting

    ReplyDelete
  97. I feel kind of doubtful since there is a lot of info out there and it's important to find ones that are reliable.

    ReplyDelete
  98. "Good" information is reliable and has sources..speaking of sources databases like ebsco seem fine. so far my results are not too good

    ReplyDelete
  99. @Mitchell I'm pretty sure it's impossible to get unbiased information

    ReplyDelete
  100. @Luc &Ross yeah i think wikipedia is the most helpful step to do first because then all the more detailed info becomes easier to understand

    ReplyDelete
  101. other examples of good information is websites that are popular and consist of more contributors than say one person writing about their opinions

    ReplyDelete
  102. ********** END OF EXPLORATION **********

    ReplyDelete
  103. Some feedback to help you in the formulation section: Don't try sp hard to ANSWER the questions!!! How do you feel and what are you doing as you TRY to answer the questions?

    Also: I love the wikipedia debate!!!

    Ross: While I think you are trying to be sarcastic in your opening remarks, you have hit the nail on the head in many of your comments and gotten many people to discuss issues they may not have in an honest way. Thank you! Keep it up!

    ReplyDelete
  104. As my research project progresses, I believe that the information is making more sence to me and I feel as though I understand my topic more than the beginning.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Yes, my topic has partially changed because originally, my topic focussed on just informational facts on my topic, but now its more fun facts and is more appealing to the reader

    ReplyDelete
  106. This comment has been removed by the author.

  107. i feel that i don't have a clear idea about my topic. my thoughts are about my note cards. I am searching on the web to find more info about my topic.

    ReplyDelete
  108. FYI = my topic is how cell phones have changed our lives for the better and for the worse...

    ReplyDelete
  109. This comment has been removed by the author.

    ReplyDelete
  110. @ Luc.... I agree with you that it is a lot easier to focuss on one topic that is straight foward rather than it being more broad.

    ReplyDelete
  111. @ James.... If you don't have a clear interpretation on your topic, you may want to think of changing. Or if you think you would like to stick with your original topic, try looking up recommended websites or other search engines other than google.

    ReplyDelete
  112. I believe i have a good idea on what mt topic is about its all relating to the samethings and is coming together. Their are still somethings that I want to relate my topic to though.

    ReplyDelete
  113. @James its easir to figure out your topic if you are totally set on what you are searching and know what your searching. Otherwise it makes things a lot harder for you when you want to search.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I chose concentration camps in North Korea which isnt very specific but because there isnt much on the camps and North Korea in general it was the best choice.
    How has this topic changed/developed?
    THe topic developed into how human rights relate to concentration camp prisoners and the torture they experience. I'm pretty sure I'll do fine.

    ReplyDelete
  115. @Brandon its good that your topic seems to be coming together really well! Just make sure if it is fun your still keeping your focus on your topic.

    ReplyDelete
  116. @Brandon - I think that its good for you to realize that your topic focus has changed too that of more "fun facts" than that of more, and what I think many will agree, boring facts. Always be energetic to keep the audience from falling asleep.

    ReplyDelete
  117. @Zully - Some post Zully ;) haha

    ReplyDelete
  118. @ Noel

    Make sure you understand your topic. books are very reliable to use on a research project.

    ReplyDelete
  119. @Zully I'm glad you agree with me :) haha

    ReplyDelete
  120. I feel that my topic has become more specific and a think it has developed positively.

    ReplyDelete
  121. @Amanda I think that relating your topics together is a good idea that will help you with your project.

    ReplyDelete
  122. I feel that my project is coming together very strongly.

    ReplyDelete
  123. @Brandon I too feel that the more I progress through my topic the more sense it makes to me.

    ReplyDelete
  124. I think that my research is coming along well as finding information with the school approved search engins, such as Sweet Search have amazing results to cross refrence.

    ReplyDelete
  125. Because of reliable search engins and sources that work well with each other, my research has become more accurate.

    ReplyDelete
  126. ********** END OF FORMULATION **********

    ReplyDelete
  127. I feel that my topic is not progressing much...I'm doing interpretations of dreams in culutures and all the websites I've seen so far talk about two same ones over and over again

    ReplyDelete
  128. The information I am getting is much more than what I was hoping for. The more the merrier :D

    I pick a website by initially searching it through Google. Once done, I scroll through and read the summaries and decode the URL of the websites i am about to chose. After, I check through the website and see what kind of qualifications that might be listed on the sight. I check the author as well. Then, afterward, I get my info and left a happy camper :)

    ReplyDelete
  129. @Noel make a different search, or try a different method of approach like through a book or maybe through some out of the world TV show...

    ReplyDelete
  130. How does the info I am collecting fit into my topic?
    I have gotten information on the different kinds of bullfighting and the aspects of buillfighting

    ReplyDelete
  131. On what criteria have I selected my sources?
    I used websites that knoqw about the bullfighting. I use french websites that host the bullfights and know exactly what it is like.

    ReplyDelete
  132. @Zully yeah yeah thats what they all say there isn't much to work with.

    ReplyDelete
  133. I've been collecting info on concentration camps in North Korea because it relates to my topic, Human Rights in North Korea.

    I used e-books and news websites.

    ReplyDelete
  134. @Shane I do the website thing too and yeah I'll do that

    ReplyDelete
  135. @ Noel You should've chosen a topic that you know would have more information about. Dreams in cultures isnt something that many people study

    ReplyDelete
  136. When researching my topic,the information is on thousands of websites, but sometimes the information overlaps. Also, I have several sources on my topic at home, but it is hard to transfer the information onto paper. What are some other ways that I can tranfer my information from for example, books that I can't take out of the house?

    ReplyDelete
  137. I select my sources by looking at the top or bottom of the webpages. Other than the URL and summary and stuff, you can check the things a website is affliated with. More publicly known stuff (CNN.com) is usually more reliable. I also choose them based on looks

    ReplyDelete
  138. @Zully yeah I didn't think of that before. poop it's a very interesting topic that doesn't have much

    ReplyDelete
  139. For my topic, I hgave looked up information on my topic in more depth than before. Originally, I just looked up pictures that seemed intriging to me, but now since the project and my knowledge about research is progressing, I am looking up my topic more on the informational sections instead of just color, vibrant pictures.

    ReplyDelete
  140. @Brandon - take pictures of the pages in the book :D ha-ha, but on a more realistic note, with whatever time you have just copy some of the STARRED information you need from the book or whatever source you are having "problems" with. That way, when something comes around, you have what you needed or wanted at your disposal. Just not using a source because you find it troublesome to get info from... that ain't wise ;)

    ReplyDelete
  141. @ Noel - same, two of my websites are associated with the NEW YORK TIMES and also CNN... and the 3rd source is CNN, lolz

    ReplyDelete
  142. @ Noel...... it is good that you are looking up sources like CNN that are reliable, but I would encourage not to look at a webpage, that may or may not be informational just based on it's "looks".

    ReplyDelete
  143. @ Zully.... WOW, I didn't realize that there were concentration camps in North Korea!?!

    Anyway, e-books and news websites are reliable, primary sources.

    ReplyDelete
  144. @Brandon - I disagree with you on that one Brandon, I believe that looks are very important when it comes to a source for information. If you found Adds covering the page and the background is ponies and the article is about WMDs... what would you think? I would not even bother with the page in fear of a virus, and that's because it is not a professional website with probably unqualified blogger(s) who decided to turn a website into a hobby. Looks are very important.

    ReplyDelete
  145. I feel that the criteria I choose my sources on was very reliable because i only choose sources that were form large reliable companies or companies that were in the business my topic was about.

    ReplyDelete
  146. The information I have gathered fits very well into my topic and I feel that it will work together very well.

    ReplyDelete
  147. The information that I have picked is really useful and I'm really satisfied with all the information I found out on my topic. I feel it will all work really well together. Also I have selected my sources by how much information they carry and how useful it really is

    ReplyDelete
  148. @Amanda Amanda I agree that it is good to select sources by the amount of information they have but sometimes it is better to get a little bit of info from a reliable source than a lot of info from an unreliable one.

    ReplyDelete
  149. @Luc Getting you information from websites where the people know what they are talking about is a good idea. Just like how you got information about bullfighting from websites that host bullfights I got information about auto technologies from auto maker's websites.

  151. i feel a little confused about the outlining for the project

    ReplyDelete
  152. i think i am also behind on my note cards

    ReplyDelete
  153. I think that a good format for my project would be to have different time lines for different auto companies so that buyers could compare the technologies that they have.

    ReplyDelete
  154. I think that the target audience that I should try to reach people who are thinking of buying new cars or even used cars and want to compare the technology that the auto maker was using at the time.

    ReplyDelete
  155. Right now, I feel like things are starting to spin together. I see my project starting to look like it has an outcome. I think that an appropriate way to present my information and project is to do it in a visual sense, like either a TV spot or Youtube video. And the reason being is because I want to portray some information via pictures, like the evolution of cell phones since the 1980s.

    ReplyDelete
  156. @Mitchell - I would guess that those buying new cars or used cars would be high school kids (11-12th grade) buying their first cars of those a decade or those ahead when their clunker needs a replacement.

  157. I think my audience for my project would be kids from 13-18 or anyone who is part of the age where cell phones are a primary source of communication. So targeting them would the wisest choice of viewers because they can all relate to what I am talking about because the have cell phones and they know what it's like to have a continuous stream of communication with their friends when they are and are not with them.

  160. @vJames Maybe you should talk to Mrs Kminski or Ms Smith about your process with the notecards

  161. I think the most organized format is the tree method. Your topic and then subtopics and then key points all summarized on a chart. It's clear and convenient.

  162. @Mitchell I think that's a good format for your particular topic.

  163. My target audience is definately students. Probably college or grad students with majors or courses in anthropology or psychology.

  165. The most apropriate format for my topic is as a lecture or oral presentation. A powerpoint would not be the best format because powerpoints usually convey a timeline of some sort. A lectue is best because it states the known information, and leaves breathing room for questions and comments

  166. For me, my format is a website. I think a website best suits a topic that is informational, but is also known for its appearence. This allows you to see pictures and then a summary of what the picture actually is. In my organization process, I am listing my information based on my 3 main topics and then have picturesd and information under that topic.

  167. @ Ross.... You spelled appropriate wrong.
    -----------------------------------------------
    I do believe that lectures can be the best format for SOME topics, depending on what your talking about. For example, if your topic was based on vacation spots that you would want to go to over the summer, a lecture is not the best format. But, something like a more serious topic like genetic diseases, or health care, etc. I agree would agree with you.

  168. An appropriate audience for my topic would be people searching for educational, but yet a fun vacation spot to go (Yellowstone National Park).

  169. @ Noel....
    I agree with you that having one main topic and then other smaller subtopics is the best way to format information into an organized way of writing.

  170. I think the best format is one that flows together into one nice coherent paper.

  171. The best audience for my topic is one of people who don't know enough to tell me that my topic is unethical, horrible, and non-eco friendly. Seriously, the best audience would be a group of people who have no opinion, for me to explain the goods and bads.

    I agree with your point of format formality. You don't want to give a lecture about how you broke your leg. Or something.

    Good point, it is really good to target people who use your topics point most. As in cell phones or ipods.
