Paper Writing

[James MacMillan]

I still hold to my original idea.

"question" Is it possible to discover who in my familial background first wore a kilt?"

This opens so many avenues to tie in, it should write itself, and when you are done, you will have learned something, not just done a paper. I hold three degrees and I know what I am talking about.

Areas of tie-in: Kilt, Geneology, History, Fashion, Conflict, Familial divergence, Imigration, etc etc.

Remember, we are still only talking 12 pages!

Hmmm...If it were me teaching the class, I might accept this proposal for some sort of speech, but given the amount of genealogical research alone, which does take some time to gather sources & information, I would probably suggest to the student to research something more "concrete" in terms of academic resources.

As you say, it is a 12-page paper for a English Comp II class. If anything, this topic is probably too broad for the class.
