What are you interested in, Samantha? Do you have a career interest? Do you have a love for a particular kind of music, sport, or hobby? You should choose something that interests you. I am sure you could think of things you would NOT want to write about–this is your chance to think of something that you want to learn about.

Let me know what you come up with.

You need to begin your research by asking a very specific “how” or “why” question about some aspect of child care. Try browsing through some resources on child care and doing some general reading first. Then start asking questions. Your teacher should be able to help you narrow your topic more.

As for your project, the possiblities are unlimited. Remember that your research paper and project just need to be clearly linked. As a teacher, I like to see my students do something to help the commmunity. Could you volunteer at local agency for children in your community? You might also create a documentary or informational video for broadcast on your local community’s education channel.

Hi I found this in a search engine and I thought maybe you could help me. I have to do the senior project next year (I am only a junior) and I am interested in doing a project dealing with childcare because i enjoy being around young children, but I am having trouble with thinking of a project that would incorporate what I like to do and something that I could create an eight page paper with.

You can easily get an argumentative paper out of this topic, Emily. Just ask a “how” or “why” question about some aspect of your topic and answer that question in your paper.

That would be a good one, but I can’t write any papers about the “history of” anything. And it also can’t be an information research paper. It’s supposed to have a “question” and be an argumentative research paper.

You could write a paper about the skirt and how it has reflected history. How have changes in the skirt reflected historical events? Focus on the shortening of the skirt as well as women beginning to wear pants.

I want to do my senior project on fashion. I’m planning on making a prom dress. But what could I use for my argument or question for my research paper? Any ideas?
