Ok so before I get to my main post, this is kind of a cry for help guys. I know Professor Burton wants us to focus our blog on one main thing (mine is pop culture and Shakespeare), but I'm not entirely sure as what I should be focusing all of this research towards. Do we need to write a full final blog post in the format of a research paper? And if so, does anyone have any ideas as to what I should be aiming my research towards? I'd appreciate any and all feedback! Thanks guys! :)

After we write the rest of our posts about our research (15ish according to the current rules) we'll write a hub post, which will look kind of like a research paper. We'll lay out our thesis/research question, which will probably be changed from the one we have right now, and then we'll link to our posts that support different aspects of our thesis.
Example:
My research focused on young adult novel adaptations of Shakespeare. I read X number of books that were adapted from Shakespeare's plays: (link to post on Book A), (link Book B), (link Book C), (etc.)
I discovered that many novel adaptations are based on minor female roles, as found in (Book A), (Book B), (Book D), (Book F). Some are based on original characters (Book C).
This says something interesting about how adaptations for teens work blah blah.
Based on my readings of these books, I believe that an essential element of adapting for teens is (something I haven't discovered yet). (This post) explores this essential element blah blah.
So it's like a research paper, but instead of writing out all the evidence, you just link to what you've already written.
