From the example that we saw in class, I like that they kind of broke up the articles into sections. It seemed easy to find what you wanted to learn about without having to search through a whole list. Below I tried to break the topics down into what are similar discussions, but this is just a quick thought. I guess it depends on how you are presenting the material.
Cerebral Palsy
Eye Disease
Schizophrenia
Cancer
Multiple Sclerosis
Violence in Video Games
Steroids in Sports
Interpersonal Relationships
Child Development
Infidelity
Veterinarian Careers
Venezuela
Music
Business Communication
Truthfully, I don't actually have much on a title. I just think our layout needs to be easy and quick to find topics. People aren't going to want to search through everything to read a short article.
As for the conference, I am not to confused about how I'm presenting my material. I need to get more into it and then go from there. At this moment I'm pretty content on how I will display the information and I am understanding the material I'm reading. When questions do arise, I will just ask. Right now... I got things under control.

Summarize (or paraphrase?) a passage from each piece of research you have. If your source is online, cite the source CSW style so your instructor can refer to the original. If your source is not online, cite the source CSW style, and then provide your instructor with a hard copy of the source next class period.
Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that not many people truly understand. It is a disease that has a chronic affect that interferes with the messages that the nervous system sends. Your nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves. What seems to happen with this disease is that the defense system that the body has seems to turn on its self and attack the myelin that is protecting the nerve fibers in the spinal cord. Myelin is a fatty substance that is surrounding the nerve fibers located in the nervous system. When the myelin gets damaged you are left with some scar tissue, causing the nerve messages to become distorted and almost unreadable. Since the messages are unreadable it causes different symptoms for each diagnosed person. This symptoms can range from many levels of severeness. You may only be numb or it can be as severe as loss of vision or body motion. There are different types of stages that Multiple Sclerosis can be found. They are labeled by the type of severity your symptoms are.

thoughts on multiple sclerosis
The topic I have decided to research is multiple sclerosis. I'm interested in this topic because I know a few people that have the disease. My aunt was diagnosed in the '80s but didn't see signs until 1993. There is a lot of information that I really don't know about her disease and how to deal with it. Every single person who has multiple sclerosis has different symptoms. There are different strengths to the disease and different side effects. Not one person who has MS has the same affects. I just feel that since it's in my family and affecting my life, I should really understand it more. I think my audience would be interested in this topic because you aren't ever expecting it to happen. This disease seems to just come out of blue. I believe that if you are aware of it you can just be on the lookout. This is just a very interesting disease. I feel that the people reading this article will lock them in and they will want to know more. By talking to someone that has MS it will make the situation closer to home. I feel that men and women will be intrigued with this topic because it can happen to anyone.Every gender will need to be notified of this disease.
