Treatment

Our project includes the voluntary participation of young adults within the ages of 13-18. Our topic question for is: "What will motivate young adults to become more involved with their school and their community?" We want to be able to learn ideas from the students and adults in our own community. If we get enough good input maybe we will be able to share these ideas with the leaders of the community. One way to figure out the input of young adults is through creating a well-structured survey. We thought that by creating a survey, we would be able to get our own perspective on how well students are involved in their own communities. We just hope that the surveyors' opinions on this topic would be taken in a serious matter.

Along with the survey we will include graphs, pictures, video clips, an I-movie, and other sources we use for references besides people. Through all of these references, we would be able to attain the justified amount of information to draw out a final conclusion on our topic. Believe it or not, we are both looking forward to seeing the results. We thought that this survey would also help and give us more information on how and what we both could do to get more involved in our own communities. We could even use the results to our own extent; whether we would decide to follow some of our surveyor‘s suggestions or not. Hopefully our project will be interesting and teach a lot to the society.

Pitfalls & Difficulties

Throughout this project, I think that my partner and I would have to face the uncertain and weak responses of our surveyors. We are afraid that some of the surveyor's responses wouldn't reach the expected criteria of our project. Their responses truly matters the most in order for this project to work out successfully. It's as if we rely on their responses in order for us to take matters into our own hands.

Completed Research Over the Weekend

Over the weekend, Angelina and I talked a bit about our project and what we would consider doing first. We also asked students close to or around our age to see what they thought of our topic. We were impressed that a number of the students came up with great responses towards the topic we chose. At first, we didn't think they'd actually be interested and give us some helpful responses; we expected more of negative comments than positive ones. Some students, however, thought that it would be difficult to persuade some adolescents to pursue their peers into getting involved in their community.

Topic Selection

My partner for this project is Angelina. We would be concentrating on young adults within the ages of 13-18 concerning their involvement in their communities. Our topic question is: "What would motivate adolescents to become more involved with their school and their community?" We were both planning on videotaping some of our surveyors as we interview them about the different kinds of possibilities young adults would consider taking just so that they would get more involved in their own communities. We were also planning on making an I-movie so that we could add some pictures mixed in with video clips of our interviews. If we could, we also planned on making a graph on the computer once we get our overall results.
