Eddie Would Go Essay
Information 21st Skill
The biggest essay we've had for English class has been the "Eddie Would Go Essay". We were assigned to write about Eddie Aikau and how he had a impact not only in the surfing world, but also for the Hawaiian community too. We had to relate how we would act in certain situations to how Eddie would've acted. Lastly, we had to find a problem in our community that we could help solve by acting like Eddie. The community problem I picked was "vaping". Vaping is a huge problem and thats why I thought it would be a good example of a something that is hurting our community.
To research for this essay, I had to use my information skills. I used a packet given out by the teacher to do some research, and I also researched digitally. I found direct sources online to people associated with Eddie Aikau, and I also found other reliable sources to use. Online statistics for things like vaping were really helpful too, so I had an idea of how serious the problem really was. This essay and essays in general are all about gathering information and using that information to form new ideas. Over the years as I have become better at finding the right sources and picking out only the relevant and important information, I have seen my writing evolve and improve as well.
