Week 1 Feb 7 2011 Last week was the start of the new school year and also of the Research Project class. Our teacher, Mr Tengdahl discussed briefly of what we are expected to do for this class. Mr Tengdahl also asked the class to make their own wikispace account. The topic that I chose to do my research on was "Why do people gamble too much?" I decided to choose this topic because i also enjoy gambling. I should firstly reseach about what are the reasons of people gambling. With the topic that i ve chose, i have to survey people at the age of 18 and above because im interested of the impact it does to their lives.

Good topic, perhaps a little re-jig of the question or statement could be good. I like that you are already looking ahead to where you are going to find your information. Make sure you look at studies and investigations already done on this topic, as well as getting that primary info from interviews. You might want to look at gambling in a specific location, Adelaide or Australia or anywhere overseas that you were interested in. If you just say "Why do people gamble too much" you're kind of including the whole world.. that's a lot of research! Focus on an area and then you could even focus on an age group or sex..

Week 2 Feb 7 2011 This week we are asked to research for useful resources in the internet about the topics that weve chosen. I decided to rephrase my reseach question to " Why do people in Adelaide gamble too much?

PROPOSAL, WHERE IS?
