LAT 1

Well I started off on my second term with great enthusiasm, until I ran into my first real Thesis-research paper.I am able to choose any topic, write a question about it, than produce a Thesis statement with at least 3 argumentative points. Ok that does not sound too bad, until I read the other 4 parts. This is not going to be as easy as I thought.
 I created a topic/question and Thesis statement after a couple days. I submitted it, and it was declared satisfactory. Next step, find 10 sources and write an annotated Bibliography. Each source must have at least 150 words. Including quotes and paraphrasing of text.
I originally chose Area 51; that was canned. I than chose Unions-Institution of the past? as my topic and that was accepted. I started doing the research and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I do not want to continue researching this topic and at the end have to write a 10-15 page research paper on it. :(
I kept going over in my mind-what topic can I write about that is argumentative but interesting? As it so often happens, a chance encounter with an email set the buzzers ringing in my head. Wolves! Of course, I have always had an affinity for them. I am interested in them, and the very subject brings up a heated debate about whether they should remain on the endangered species list, or let them be a trophy for some hunter during season.
I have finished my first part and submitted it.

TOPIC: Wolves
QUESTION: Innocent victim or vicious killer?
THESIS: Research has shown that wolves continue to be a controversial topic because of its reputation as killer of livestock, important link in the food chain, and pawn in the ongoing debates between Government and Environmental groups.

Waiting to hear back from the LAT1 mentors, and than the research begins.
