Analysis for Midterm

So far we have worked on a "introduction to who we are" paper, a visual that shows our views on democracy and a paper to go along with it, read and reviewed several chapters from "Reading and Writing for Civic Literacy", and are now working on a Observation paper. I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable within the class in terms of what to expect and am currently getting a solid B. I find the papers that we have written, and will write, concerning our community and democracy to be very interesting, though I would prefer these papers to have a little more "variety." What I mean by this is instead of just focusing on current events strictly within our communities, we could focus on the diversity of communities that may have existed thousands of years ago and how these communities may be different from the ones that exist today. To me, it just seems that some of the other students may be bored with the class and I think that this focus on diversity would help to make the class far more interesting. It's always better to explore new areas rather than focus on ones that students may already be familiar with.
