Unit 3

This week we have to create a thesis statement for our research papers. I think i have an idea what i want to say in my thesis but I'm not entirely sure. I have had difficulty with forming my thesis statements in previous assignments so I'm hoping to have better luck with this one. I think i want to do my paper on how marijuana/ THC effects the body of those who use it. Its a topic that interests me because i have an uncle who lives in Maine and is part of the medical marijuana program for his arthritis. Although Massachusetts, where I'm from doesn't have such a program, its still something I'm interested in. I'm excited to see the thesis statements of my classmates and how they are doing with their research papers.

unit 2

Unit 2 should be very interesting. I'm looking forward to finding out what other people are considering for their final paper topic. I have several topics that i'm thinking of. the first topic i was thinking of is the effects of marijuana on the body. for that i'd describe how THC, the component in marijuana that makes someone "high". Another topic would be the effects of tobacco on the lungs. I'd also consider the topic of how consuming alcohol effects pregnant women.. so many topics to choose from and they are all so interesting.
