Presentation Feedback

Daer group members,

please review my presentation and use the critique sheet Dr. Archibald has provided to give me feedback so that i can improve my presentation.

Conference notes

After my conference with archibald I found that I have a few corrections to be made as well as a better understanding on how to write about my topic. I found that my topic was to wide of a span in between what I was writing about and what I was trying to argue. I didn't focus enough on arguing a topic that is debatable by others so much as argue a vague point, I will be doing some revamps on my paragraphs and focusing now more on a more arguable version of my topic.

Souirces for the 3ResProj

I actually had a hard time finding sources for my paper. So i desided to be creative and add some alterior sources from my own experiances as well as experiances of others. I also found some sources of cases on the use of the "n" word in which the person was fired from their job because of a false case of racism in the work place. In using the "n" word as a reason to get the person fired in order to eliminate compitition in the job, which now a days isn't so uncommon.

Conference notes

We talked about what my idea were and which one's had the best making for a good topic paper. I decided that  my topic would be how the usage of the "n" word has changed from the past versions and how people don't understand just how powerful and hurting the word was.

ResProj paper ideas

1- "In both era’s the topic of race for the most part has stayed the same, that the African Americans wanted equality, however the way they fought for their cause differed from the two times in history. Both Ida B. Wells and the freedom riders had similar thoughts and ideas but how they acted on these ideas was completely different (Benjamin)."

2- One of the main differences in the two era's was how they acted against violence with non-violence, any normal person that is faced with death will run away or defend himself/herself but the freedom riders would not fight back. This made a huge difference when it came to right and wrong because who would think of the people not fighting back to be the wrong in their ideas.

1. After reading these quotes from my 2Syn paper what do you think about these topic ideas? 

2. Do you understand what I am getting at? 

3. Which one sounds best to use for the 3ResProj? Why?

Integrating Sources 2 examples

Example #1-

In my paper I stated how wells quotes, "If my life makes a difference in how people see lynching, if only by a small amount, then I would gladly give it up."

Example #2

I also state how Arsenault tells, "I don't know if the men that were sent to protect them would do so or feed them to the wolves."


These sources tell of the harshness that is prominent throughout the 2 essays and it will have a bigger impact, that is why I choose these for my report. 

After reading this what do you think my paper is about?

In both the era's, when Ida B. Wells took up her fight in getting her ideas and opinions about race where she told the public just how unjust the justice system was and how badly her fellow African Americans were treated as well as when the freedom riders rode in a bus into the sourthern states in order to prove that both whites and blacks could get along as equals. In both times the topic of race for the most part has stayed the same. However the way they fought for their cause differred from the two times in history. Both Ida B. Wells and the freedom riders had simular thoughts and ideas but how they acted on these ideas was completely different.
