I really enjoyed writing my issues paper and putting all the evidence together. I had a hard time in the beginning knowing where I wanted to go. I had all this research and had begun to form an opinion, but I wanted to bring something new. I decided that my opinion was strong enough and unique enough about climate change that I would write about that. I just noticed that the statistics on both sides of the argument didn't directly contradict each other so basically people were arguing over two separate issues that both supported climate change. My first draft of this paper was really rough, but I saw it improve a lot as I saw where I wanted to go with it. I thought it was really important that the arguments be really well outlined in my paper so the reader could get a feel for what is being said and form their own opinions, especially providing a basis for the connection of both arguments to climate change. I was happy with the overall paper even though it was very different from what I had imagined. I think I got my point across in a clear way and presented both sides of the argument fairly. My main point seemed unique and new, which was something I really wanted. I was able to make a new conclusion out of the same research that has been done. It was also a powerful conclusion, as if people truly believe in what I have said, it will change the way we treat climate change. Overall I thought I met all my goals for this paper.
