-Ignore this-
Just sorting out ideas about ideas and deciding how to make a decision on this darn thing. I like to write about what I'm writing about. Probably need to sleep instead. .-. Oh wells.
Generating Ideas about my Topic
Which is, oh, what a coincidence: Sleep!
Disclaimer: Topic subject to change... again.
What do I want to accomplish with this project?
Umm meet the requirements and so pass English 102.
What interests me personally about this topic?
It affects me, particularly 1/3 of my life! I think learning more about it will help me make healthier habits in the future.
What interests me academically about this project?
It's got a scientific background. I'm not sure if that's the path I will choose but maybe I can get my toes wet writing and working with some information.
Who are my readers?
First, my professor. My classmates, who towards the end of the quarter will review and give feedback on my paper. And anyone who happens to stumble upon my blog!
What topics do my readers need to read about?
I don't know... things that will help them improve their life?
What topics would my readers like to read about?
Things that are helpful and applicable to them. I like this topic idea because everyone sleeps. So it could be applicable to everyone! It also is kind of off the wall, interesting information that isn't filled with subjective reasoning or dogmatism.

Writing about sleep will help me accomplish the following purposes:
I am personally interested in sleep because I want to know how important it is to my life. Do I sleep enough?
Freewriting about response:
I feel like a lot of America doesn't realize how important sleep is. I heard somewhere that the number of car crashes caused by drowsy drivers are higher than those caused by drunk drivers! That's pretty crazy. I don't think our society takes sleep seriously enough. The amount of workers working shifts that are too long can account for this too. (Medical and transportation related). Perhaps I could go into studies on the negative effects of too little sleep. Both in the work world and in the health world. How does it affect your body? Your brain? Does it affect children, teens, adults, or seniors differently? What about differences in countries? Do other countries sleep more on average?
But also, how can I make this a persuasive argument and not just an informative collection of data?
hm.
