My term paper was about the advantages and the disadvantages of using ebooks as alternative for books. At first, it was really not  my plan to have it as my term paper topic but due to shortage of topics that I had in mind, I ended up with this topic. The first thing that I had in mind as a term paper topic was about blogs: its therapeutic effects to people but with the help of my teacher, I realized that it is very difficult and maybe I would have a hard time looking for sources about this topic so I changed it and moved to another topic.

         The second topic that I chose was about animations and how it evolved through time, but still it did not reach the standards of our teacher so I searched again for another topic. I was already frustrated in my search for a possible topic yet I still had the patience to search and finally when our teacher asked if who wants to consult her regarding our term paper topics, I waited for my turn and asked her if "the advantages and disadvantages of using ebooks as alternative for books" a good topic. And fortunately, she accepted my term paper topic.

         I searched for the sources that I will be using for my term paper. I was worried that I would not be able to reach the minimum number of sources and luckily, I was able to reach it.


         Making the thesis statement really takes time and needs a lot of thinking. I was dumbfounded doing the thesis statement because I really don't know how to start making one. My first submitted thesis statement was corrected by our teacher and made me to revise it. After that was the outline-making for the body of the term paper.

        The making of the outline was also difficult because the outline that we will be having is the one that is taken from our thesis statement. It means that the outline is based on our thesis statement. The one that I first submitted was already correct but what lacks are the examples under every category.

        The body was already done after making the outline. Next was the encoding and the defense for our term paper. We had a hard time encoding all the parts of our term paper because we were instructed to expand the content of its body.

         The defense was fun although nerve-racking but we were given only 5 minutes to present our term paper and 3 minutes for the Q&A portion so we did our best in the presentation. Our defense was successful and voila!we are already through with the term paper. English 2 is really over. :)
