Research Proposal

Your next big assignment is your research paper. Before you can begin this, you must run it by me for approval.
In Microsoft Office WORD. write a sentence or two that let's me know what you plan to become an expert on this semester.
I might ask you to narrow the topic down, such as if you ask to report of Child Abuse, I might challenge you to narrow it down to Physical or Emotional or In step families or generational.
This needs to be a subject you are passionate about or just want to know more of.
This will be what you write your paper on, make your powerpoint from and finally present to me via Skype, Yahoo Messenger or MSN messenger using a webcam.
I can not and will not tell you what to write on. Making a decision like this is part of your education. Trust yourself. Bellieve me there is plenty of information out there to research any topic you can dream of.
I know my personal experience with this was when as a preschool teacher, I had so many things I wanted to tell parents. (set them straight. ) I ended up writing a 167 page book with 10 pages of references on various topics. Oddly enough, I learned that most parents are doing the best they can for their children and I needed to be more compassionate. Odd how research opens your eyes.
In your dropbox is a place to put your research proposal. this is due Feb 8. Please don't write your paper without my approval on the topic.
Have fun finding your topic and may you have good success.
