Summary/Reflection 2/4

This week we learned about roles as a researcher, tips for researching, annotated bibliographies, evaluating websites, evaluating academic sources, claims and how to write a proposal for our main inquiry project. We also did a free write on our topic for our main inquiry project. I think the free write was a good idea. I felt like it helped me. I am still a little nervous about this project but I know it will be interesting to do. My topic is about high school drop out rates among minorities.

  1. I think that is a great idea for your research project. Are you going to just do the statistics for Charlotte? Compare and contrast between majorities/minorities and male/female? And have you thought of any possible solutions yet?....possibly setting up an incentive program for the most effected group. I'm interested to see how it turns out. Good luck!!

  2. Thanks. I will be doing research for Charlotte Mecklengberg School District and researching minority drop out rates as whole. Thanks for the idea, I had some thought in some sort of incentive program.
