In Class: Free Write

I think I know the topic that I want to choose for unit two and I have two options. I am having trouble deciding which one would have more primary source on. I was thinking about writing about the Mormon polygamist camp found in Texas. I think it would be very interesting to write about this topic, but I am unsure about how much information is really out there concerning this event. I know that there is a news report on CNN about it because that is where I first heard about this event. What other sources could I use? Would a newspaper article about the event be considered a primary source?

The second topic I have been thinking about is the Olympic athlete who had to give back her track medals because she was caught using steriods. I think that this may be easier to find information and primary sources on because it was more heavily talked about in the media. She also appeared on Oprah, wich is considered an interview and that would an intesting source to use.
