Ideas: fashion, cosmetology, special education, autism, down syndrome
I'm really interested in fashion, beauty, and cosmetology. I would really like to research something along those lines, but I don't know what question I would derive from that.
My major is special education. I'm very interested in disabilities like autism and down syndrome. Maybe I could choose one of those topics and study behavior of these children or parenting of a child with a disability. I could also go the direction of symptoms and causes of autism or down syndrome. A lot of this would be tings I've already researched or learned a little bit about in my Special Education 201 class. I'm leaning more toward the beauty side because I've never researched about it, but it's been a passion of mine since I was little. I've always wanted to be a cosmetologist. I wonder how the salaries of a teacher versus a beautician would differ. I know they're both not high in salary, but with cosmetology you can go many different routes.

Which topic would be most beneficial to you? Which topic would motivate you to research and write?
ReplyDeleteWhichever topic you choose, you'll need to narrow it down to something specific about your topic: What age group of children are you focusing on? Do you want to research how parents can best advocate for their children? Or do you want to look at what kinds of activities parents should provide their children to maximize their ability to learn? Exercise and/or nutritional issues with children who have special needs?
Have you narrowed down your ideas about beauty and cosmetology? What is question driving your research? Money alone? What about the realities of the work? The training required? The competition?
Megan has a good start on her topic proposal. She talked about why she chose the topic and what she knows and wants to know about Autism. Her strengths were that she had experience stories and she already knew a lot of information about the topic.
ReplyDeleteMegan, I think you had a really good start with your topic proposal! I felt that your strengths were your personal experiences with Autism. You discussed one of your sources, but maybe for your final paper you could explain your other sources too. I really like how you're going to focus on how to indicate Autism early.
