RJA #13b: Application Project Plan–
I plan on writing a news article on the item. I love current events and often watch financial news so I think it would be great to act as if I am breaking the news with my own bias. I will focus on the angle I want to take on the article and then provide real life facts on current events. In recent days Greece, Portugal, and Spain had just received a downgrade on their credit ratings. I will be using a lot of this material as the focus to suggest whats next for currency.

RJA #10c: Ideas for the Application Project
For my application Project I plan on writing either a news article, short story or an editorial. I will most likely write an editorial because I am very opinionated and feel I could really go on rant exposing truths I have found through my research no matter how unpopular it appears to be. I am looking forward to this editorial.
RJA #10b: Progress Report for Argumentative Paper
I have outlined my paper and located all the material I want to include. I need to start brainstorming the format so I know which topics I want to include and how to present them. I plan on working on it this weekend so that I can spend the following week revising the paper and including additional supporting material if necessary.
