9/12/2012 Wednesday's Blog
No I did not decide to change my research question since Monday. My group's topic is texting and I decided that my research question should be "What are the effects of habitual texting on a person's overall health (mentally, physically, and socially)?". After discussing my researching question to my group on Wednesday, it seemed to be ok, so I decided to keep my reseach question the same and make no modifications. I think my question meets all the requirements on the Research Question Checklist. The checklist basically wants to know if the question is researchable, has a position, is in-depth, is not too broad nor too narrow, if the question is subjective, and if it passes the so-what test? The kinds of resources I think I would mainly be using for this research paper are statistics, photos, news articles, and maybe even some interviews. There could possibly be books written about my topic but I think it may be a little tidious to find. If I were to use a book maybe I could find something that relates to how technology has expanded and read about any risks it may portray of fast-growing technology. Overall the main goal would be to just about find alot of information about texting and health!

This is a great start Candace, but I'd suggest narrowing it even a little more--maybe choose mental, physical, OR social health? If you have all three, my fear is that you'd end up giving more of a summary of each instead of the in-depth, argument-based position you'd need to take!
