The story will be graded not only for creativity but in this case credibility
(altho that is most certainly NOT needed in fiction) to help us learn one aspect
of research. (Not everyone, for those who go on to become writers, will write
only fiction). Each of us was allowed to pick our area for the research aspect.
I chose the web. I have done lots of research for classes at the library.
Thought it would be fun to do on the web with actual insight from other people.
Not just searching the web, which I am doing too. Use google.com all the time
myself and have loads of bookmarks about hang gliding and para gliding. And to
be perfectly honest, sometimes I just dont get the "technical" aspects of
something because I become impatient while reading it. You help when you
explain things in laymans terms. Hope that helps! :)
