Open a new page in your blog. You can title it: "Issue Exploration"
1. Spend 10 minutes listing out some of the issues that matter to you. See if you can come up with a list of at least 5-10 issues. If you're stuck, the Research Paper assignment sheet has a link to many current issues, topics, and questions.
2. Once you've created your list, look more carefully at the items on your list. What specifically do you want to say about this issue? What do you want others to believe about this issue? What problems does this issue pose? What solutions might you offer?
3. Go back and add secondary ideas, examples, or observations to at least 3 of your issues.
4. Browse the internet for news articles, images, videos, or other commentary on your issue. Create links to this media inside of your blog.
5. Finally, as you look over your issues, begin to write a paragraph (very rough, just getting some ideas out here) about what you care about. What do you care about? What matters to you? What should others care about? Why? What needs to happen? How can you make that happen?
