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 and Difficulites

Some pitfalls I'm noticing that may be a problem to my research is that some students don't want to give any comments. We may also learn that people may say its impossible unless you have a million dollars.
But some things I've gotten connected with is that students like to be rewarded and to have fun. So if the community and the school would offer fun and good, not cheesy, rewards and jobs we would make great success.

Day Two of Global Com Project

This weekend I did some research on my topic and got a few good facts. I asked a few students and a few adults for some ideas on what they thought of my topic. I got some very helpful responses. Most of the students told me that they also wonder what can be done for everyone to participate in the community. They told me they thought the biggest problem is that we all want to "impress the crowd." However some students said they don't think anything can be done to get teenagers involved in the community. The adults were very excited to hear that there are kids who want to become more involved. Hopefully the majority is right. But it will be interesting to see how we can motivate everyone to become involved, no matter who they are.

Global Com Project: Step 1

My topic question for the project is "What will motivate young adults to become involved in their school and community.?" My partner in this project is Katherine. We are hoping that our multimedia part of the project will be interesting. We are going to record interviews with some of the people we survey. We may write a song that goes with our results and record it through garage band. We can also make a Imovie with pictures of people we interviewed and ideas they gave.
