Inquiry Project Progress 3 Dec, 2007

Progress: I have written the proposal contract thingy. It was very difficult to stretch it out to two pages. It's very annoying how when I want to be concise, I end up being wordy and confusing and when I want to write a lot about something, I end up not having enough to say.

Anyway, I've decided to go with the field trip idea. To be honest, I didn't think of it. I was clueless about what to do so I asked my mother if she had ideas. She had about fifty. I just picked the ones I liked best. I really do think that more field trips would be a good thing, though. It varies life a little. I hate doing the same thing everyday all the time. Doing different and fun things makes me happy. Of course, that's not a very polished or good way to argue for something.

I've also realized that since I've decided to do this, a lot of my research is going to come from interviews. I'll have to ask people about whether they feel more field trips are better and why. That will be entertaining, since I'm sure some people will have interesting things to say.

So basically, I've just written the contract out, and it's made me think more deeply about the issue.

Oh Liz I know how you feel in stretching out the proposal contract to two pages. But granted it was double spaced, so not too big of a deal

Nice job in asking around for help.

Are you going to be writing about field trips not being done at University, or in schools in general? Depending on this, it will definitely shape your proposal.
