Workshop Post

I was going to research George Mason.
I wanted to know his significance in America's history.
I want to know what he did that made him worthy enough of having a University named after him.

your topic is very original. I'd maybe try to find out why this school was named after him.

thats a good idea.it'd be funny if you found out how we got our school colors cuz somebody told me it was because of his foot

This is different lol. But good b/c people used to ask me who George Mason was && I don't know that much about him. To be honest I dont think many people do. But this is good and Im glad Im not the only person researching a person in class!

You will absolutely be able to find a lot of research about him. But what is your thesis?

Very original. Georgey had it going on by the way. Try to make some sort of debate out of it. Such as if his name deserved to be put at our school. Or discuss his actual acheivements and critic them.

Haha I like it! This is a good topic because it has two arguable sides. He was a very influential man in American history. I hope you find some good resources and that he is worthy of our college name!

Nice choice. Many people don't know a lot about him, so this can be a cool topic to research.
