Reflection
This weeks assignment was a little difficult. I learned some interesting new resources but I didn't understand the citation part. I went over other classmates examples but that just confused me even more. Maybe my cold has gone to my brain or I'm just losing it. I will have to look again and see if I can figure it out and post it later. I do like the fact that I'm getting closer to choosing a topic that's important to me and I can share with my class mates. It makes the class more interesting since there are all kinds of different people with different backgrounds. There are some articles from other class mates that I can't wait to read when we are done. I am a little nervous on how I'm going to do but this is a learning experience. I feel like my course competencies are a little off since I'm not sure exactly what I was suppose to do with HW#10. I will not let this assignment defeat me I will conquer it! As for my personal life I feel like it's on the right track, had a little side track this week with my divorce being filled but only good things to come!!!

Annotated bibliography
"Quick Screening Test Developed for Alzheimer's,” The Associated Press, March 13, 1998.
This article is about a test that is said to predict who is going to have Alzheimer's by giving a picture and word test. It is said to have a 90% accuracy. I think this article is good for people who are wondering if they have Alzheimer's or believe a family might be showing signs of it.
Martin Enserink “First Alzheimer's Diagnosis Confirmed,” Science, March 27, 1998, p. 2037.
This article is about the first person with Alzheimer's who was misdiagnosed with another disorder. This would work for my topic to help prove that Alzheimer's has been around for years but has been misdiagnosed. Many people have suffered from this disease and it's nothing new just something we have to learn more about.
Susan Gettleman and Janet Markowitz, The Courage to Decide (1974).
I really hope this article is wrong. I know that divorce has an impact on children but I would hate for it to be a negative one. I would hate to think that the children would be less dependent on their parents. My parents are my biggest supporters and I want to have that relationship with my children. I want them to know I'm here for them no matter what they are going threw. I think that a divorce will have an impact on them but it's up to the parents to make sure it's not a negative one.
Judith S. Wallerstein, Julia M. Lewis and Sandra Blakeslee, The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce: A 25 Year Landmark Study (2000), p. XXIX.
This article is about a women named Janet who's in here mid 30's who has problems with relationship because of her parents divorce. I think this article could be useful to read for my study on divorce and it's effects on children. I believe that as long as the parents show their children love and are still civial with each other it's a health realtionship between them and shouldn't have a negative effect on the parents.

I'm not exactly sure what I'm suppose to be doing here. Maybe it's just me but I will go over it again to see if I can understand what exactly you want.

Techno-tip
How bad is the affect of the children of a divorce? Are my children going to be ok? Does divorce have any developmental problems on children? Am I doing the right things for my children? Are they going to be affected as adults from the choice their mother made while they were very young children.

Consider Audience and Purpose
1) What might your audience be interested in? How could you relate your topic to your audience's experience?
The audience may also have children from a broken home and wonder what the effects are going to be on their children as well. Or they may have a family member with Alzheimers.
2) Will this topic satisfy the purpose of your writing and research? What criteria must you keep in mind to make sure that you are meeting your writing goals?
I think one of these topics will satisfy my writing and research. I think I would be able to write a 3-4 page paper on one of the topics. I could relate to this topic since I'm going threw a divorce and my grandfather has Alzheimers. I can give my own facts as well as look up other peoples stories.

Generate topic Ideas
1) Spend 3-5 minutes generating a list of topics that you find interesting and compelling? List 6-8 possibilities.
1) children and divorce
2) vaccines
3) pre-school
4) co-sleeping
5) health care
6) renting or leasing
2) Go through your list and phrase each topic as a question?
1) How does divorce affect the children of the family?
2) Are child vaccines really safe?
3) Is it that important to a child development to be place in pre-school?
4) Is co-sleeping appropriate?
5) How much health care coverage does some one really need?
6) What is more beneficial renting or leasing a house?
3) Now look at your list of questions and choose one that sounds particularly interesting to you. Free write for 5 minutes on why you thing this topic is interesting and what you know about it.
~Is co-sleeping appropriate? I think this topic is interesting to me because I let my children co-sleep with me. In some cultures it's normal for their children to sleep in the same bed as the parents. Doctors don't have a problem with you co-sleeping as long as your aware the child is in bed with you. The bond I believe children and their parents is stronger. Convenient for breast feeding mothers.
4) Look at your free writing and highlight or underline the most interesting idea you came up with. Copy that idea below your free writing and write about that idea for the next 5 minutes.

Convenient for breast feeding mothers.
As a breast feeding mother I found it not only convenient but helped build the bond between me and my children by co-sleeping. I don't think there's anything wrong with having your children in your bed. I know in some cultures it's a very normal thing and here in the states a lot of people look down on it.
