<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">During week 1 of research project I was trying to decide on what topic I wanted to research. I’m down to two topics: what is the main injury in the AFL? And what are the predictions for world war 3? I was writing questions about the topics trying to nail down what one I was going to research. I've now decided on which one I am going to research. I’m going to research what is the main Injury in the AFL?
 * TERM 1**
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Week 1 **

(NOTE: Chris, we might need to re-jig this question... it's a great topic but we need a question which requires a complex answer, not something we can answer in a few words)

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">I have changed the topic of my research to 'Why is soft tissue damage the most frequent in the AFL?' within this question I will say how to reduce the risk, what the treatment is for the injury. I will have an interview or two with a player and maybe a fitness coach or an AFL physio.
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Week 2 **

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Once again I have changed my topic to 'what are the four most common AFL injuries, and why?' I have done a draft copy of my proposal and need Mr Tengdahl to check through it. I have put my proposal at the bottom of this page. Mr Tengdahl has checked my draft and I need to make some corrections then hopefully I will be finished. I have decided on the topic I will be doing so all I need to do is start researching my topic.
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Week 3 **

During week four I didn’t get much done as during our double lesson I was at Ocean View Collage playing cricket. We lost on the second to last ball when they hit a lucky four. Next week I will need to do a lot more work to catch up. I need to start on my research as I have finished my Proposal.
 * Week 4 **

This week I have looked up some injury statistics from the 2010 AFL season. I wrote down all the injuries and the added them all up and then I figured that the four most common injuries were the hamstring, ankle, knee and shoulder injuries. I have also written notes about the hamstring injury.
 * Week 5 **

During this week I have written about the ankle injury. I have drawn a diagram of the knee and labelled the ligaments so it’s easier to understand. I missed out on my double lesson because of the drama excursion to the city to watch ‘The Misanthrope’.
 * Week 6 **

In week seven I have done more research on what are the four most common injuries. I also got to do my discussion with Mr Tengdahl. I looked on some websites and found some email addresses that I could possibly email to get an interview with a player or players. I have started writing up some of the stuff i have research but i don't exactly know how I should be presenting the work I type up.
 * Week 7 **

**Week 8** During week 8 I emailed the Port Adelaide Football Club requesting an interview with some player’s about some injuries but i have not yet received an email back. I also emailed Adelaide Football Club and i received a negative email saying that players are too busy and there are too many emails the same as mine requesting interviews. I have also emailed Woodville West Torrens Football Club and i still haven’t had a reply. On Monday my USB broke and I lost all of my work so I will need to start again. .


 * TERM 2**

** Week 1  ** During the first week back to school I decided to present my topic in a power point presentation. I have also started my power point presentation. I spoke to a bloke at my football club and he is going to help me get some interviews with some players that play for Port Adelaide Football Club. He is also going to help me get an interview with the head trainer as well.

**Week 2** This week I went down to Alberton Oval and had an interview with the head trainer. The interview went well and I got lots of helpful information from it. The bloke that I interviewed he would answer all of my questions without me even asking him. Next week I am going to try and get an interview with a player. I might have an interview with an A grade player for Rosewater FC.

** What are the four most common AFL injuries, and why? **

AFL is known for its high physical contact, especially when compared to basketball or soccer. Unlike gridiron there is no padding whatsoever. So risk of injury is high. There are four main injuries in the AFL. Would you know what the four most common injuries in the AFL are? I have chosen this topic because I love the game and I play Aussie Rules Football and I like to know about the risks of these injuries and dangers of the sport. After I have finished this research I will know the four most common AFL injuries and I will hopefully know how to avoid them. Within this research project I’m going to show/tell you what the four most common injuries are and why, how to prevent these injuries and the treatment used for these injuries. Once I have done some background research on this topic and figure out what the injuries are I will then contact a local football club and see if I can have an interview with a recently injured player with one or more of these injuries. I will also see if I can have an interview with a physiotherapist or a doctor that treat these injuries. Some of the question I will ask the player is how it affected or affects them, what was the treatment like or how is the treatment, would they be able to play at an elite level again?, etc. I will ask the physiotherapist questions like, what is the main injury you deal with, what is the main treatment for the certain injuries, what is the average recovery rate for these injuries, is the treatment successful, how long is the recovery for these injuries, etc. The resources I will use for this topic would be books on injuries, the internet and stats over the past five years and interviews with players and a physiotherapist or a club doctor. Firstly to start my research I’m going to use the internet to start my research project because the internet is an easy way to access information, secondly I will use books and stats to narrow down on information that I’m not 100% on. After I have all the background information I’m going to have some interviews.
 * Introduction **

Since I’m doing ‘what are the four most common AFL injuries, and why?’ I will need to do some interviews with players with or had a certain injury that relates to my topic and a physiotherapist that treats the certain injury, research on the internet about the injuries and how to reduce them and read books and try and get more sufficient information and i will look at stats about how many of the certain injuries there are per year in average. So there for I will be using the communication capability. I will develop my communication capability by communicating with people outside of school through interviews, emails, and over the phone. I will have to come up with questions to ask the people I interview. I will have to treat and respect people’s opinion on their answers to the questions I ask. My topic will fit into the Communication capability because I will be communicating with people outside of school.
 * Chosen capability **

FEEDBACK: Ok, most of the info needed is there but it is quite muddled. Try to structure more like this: Paragraph 1: Your background and why you chose this question. What knowledge do you bring to the table already and what will you need to know to answer this question? 2. Your research process (ie how are you going to go about researching your topic... interviews? Books? Surveys? Internet? Databases? In which order... and why in that order?) 3. Your chosen capability and why your topic will fit into this capability. 4. Any ethical or safety issues that you will need to think about before you start.

Structure it that way and you will fill in the info that you have left out and it will be a lot clearer as well.
