OK, I have been thinking about my research article on peppermint. I have my questions:

1. How does peppermint help with headaches?

2. How does peppermint help with other ailments?

3. Why is peppermint only around in the winter time?

4. Who was the first person to use peppermint to eat?

5. Why do people think about red & white when they think of peppermint?

6. Where does peppermint come from? 

I’m going to focus on the highlighted questions. I found some information and I’ll continue to look for more today when we explore the databases. I’ve been thinking about what I want my article to do. What’s the purpose? Why am I writing it? I want to inform people about the benefits of peppermint and maybe convince them that it should be around all year long. As I was driving to school, I thought of one sentence to describe the purpose of my article. Here it is: 

Peppermint’s not only for winter time, it can help you feel better all year round. 

Now you…write ONE sentence in the comments. In that one sentence you should show the readers what your article is all about…what it will do…what you hope to convey in your writing.
