Periods 2 & 7 - Research Plan

Using FINDS, start to plan your research topic. What is your topic? What do you hope to find out? What is your tentative argument? What sources are you going to use (remember to use print and databases if possible)? What is my research plan?

My topic is about why embryonic stem cell research should be banned and instead have an alternative of adult stem cells be used instead. I hope to find out as much information about both the stem cells to make a good analysis of the two. The tentative argument is going to be whether that adult stem cells are a better source of stem cells than embryonic stem cell. The sources I will be going to use are books from the library and different sources of the internet. My research plan is to be awesome and get as much information about both as possible.

My research topic is if alcoholic beverages should be banned or not. I hope to find out what the dangers of being an alcoholic are and what are some things that people can do to prevent accidents from happening. I plan on going against having alcoholic beverages banned if it pertains to all age groups. To support my arguement I plan on researching my topic using the internet and books in the library.

My topic is whether abortion should be legal. My tentative argument is that abortion should not be legal because you are killing an innocent life. Even if the mother’s reason for wanting to abort the baby is because she can not provide it she can always put the baby up for adoption same for a rape victim. I hope to find the statistic of abortions and how many women regret having an abortion. The sources I will use are the encyclopedia, books from the library, and my bible. I plan to use all the resources available to me so I can show the effects of abortion.

My topic Is about whether abortion should be legalized or not. I hope to find out alot of information that supports my side of the topic which is for abortion. Some sources I am going to use for my research paper are books, as well as websites. My research plan is to research both sides of the topic finding positive and negative sides to both. Then use all this information to write my paper.

My topic is about condoms in school. The question is "should condoms be given out in school?" I hope to find out opinions from principles and nurses from other schools. I also want to know what doctors think about giving them out. My side is for condoms in school. The sources I'm going to use are books on my topic, and online sources like Britannica, Encarta, and NetTrekker. My research plan is to explain my opinion on the pros for giving out condoms and how much it will help students.

The topic that I am going to research is about birth parents keeping their identity secret when they give their child or children up for adoption. I hope to find out the emotional aspects of giving children up for adoption, and the process that is needed when giving one up. My tentative argument is that I do not agree that birth parents should keep their identity secret, because who knows one day the child might want to find out about their biological parents. The sources I am going to use include encyclopedias, novels, and informational books that explain the adoption process and the feelings that go along withit. My research plan is to explain and learn more about this topic, and find credible resources as the research paper grows.

My research topic if the FAD should be able to regulate tobacco products .I hope to find out new and interesting facts on this argument, and information that will support my argument on why FDA shouldn’t be able to regulate tobacco products. Some resources I will be using will come from my home and the library, such as the internet and books. As for research plan I don’t have any other than to turn in my work in on time, because life isn’t something you can plan out.

My topic is do you think that all pregnant woman should be tested for aids. i do believe all pregnant woman should be tested for hiv/aids. I hope to find out the ways the babies can get aids from the mother and how the mother can prevent it. I also want to make a point that being tested for aids while you are pregnant can prevent your baby from getting it. If not tested babies and mmothers could have the diesase and not even know and the baby has a high precent of dying from it. I am going to reasearch this topic and make my note cards for my report.

My topic is, is teen pregnancy on the rise? While i research my topic i hope to find a whole bunch of statistics and information making my research paper sway to one side of the argument whether being yay or nay instead of it being neutral and being equal. I beleive teen pregnancy is on the rise.To find all the information i need im going to use my schools database and find websites which are credible and then begin my paper and show information which i will find that both go against and for my topic and then see if teen pregnancy really is on the rise.

My topic is wether or not free disposable needles should be given to drug addicts. I am still undecided on which side I am taking on this because it could go either way and I agree with either way but I am going to see which side has more evidence to back it up. I am going to use the internet and articles from magazines and such because thats where I'll find most of my information.

My topic (question) is "Should books be banned?" With this I hope to find out if there is anyone who is planning to stop banning books, or an orginization that is trying to stop it. I am arguing that the government or schools should not be able to control what we can or can not read. I plan on using the internet and reference books to find information about censoring books.
