Research Project Preface My past experiences with research writing in school involved an MLA research paper. I didn't necessarily despise it, but it wasn't my favorite thing to do. English teachers in the past didn't spend much time on explaining thoroughly the project in full. They just gave us the rubric and told us to do it. This tactic made it harder for me to fully understand doing a research paper and be able to do it in future assignments.
For my research project, I talk about the ongoing global pandemic, Covid 19, that is affecting our world right now. I go into detail about how this pandemic is not only affecting our economy but also how it's affecting people's mental health and victims of domestic violence. My research question is Should Governor Tom Wolf reopen Pennsylvania on May 8th? While one can make an argument for both why he shouldn't reopen Pennsylvania and why he should, I chose to do an op ed about why he should reopen Pennsylvania on May 8th. With the goal lingering, Governor Wolf must start making a push to reopen Pennsylvania not only for our economy, but also for people's mental health and victims of domestic violence.
