We are researching topics this year that we care about and want to change. The topic we pick will start off broad and then shrink into a more specific topic. We also find out who we should talk to to start changing what we want on the topic. In literacy we also are learning how to research better for high school and college projects.
2.What have you learned so far about research and questions?
I have learned that when you create a research question you should start out with a broad topic question and narrow it down to a more specific topic. Also when your are researching you should use things like Wikipedia and Google for more broad topics questions. When you are researching you should use .org, .net sites, and .gov sites because they can give you trustworthy information.
3. What topics are you considering and why?
I was considering researching how many kids get hooked on tobacco when they are below the age of 18 by getting adults to buy for them. I was also considering researching how many people die from texting while driving car accidents. Fracking near water supplies also seemed dangerous to me and I wanted to research why it is dangerous and if it can kill people if they drink the fracked water.
