2. Research, research, research. Explain your topic, why should we care about it, and what specifically is on your research to-do list this week?
For my national history day project my topic is the effects of the one- child policy in china. The policy was created in 1979 By Deng Xiaoping, a Chinese leader, to limit population growth in China. It specifically affects the Han Chinese that live in rural areas. Those who are not Han Chinese or live in urban areas have exceptions to the policy. Recently however there has been talk on loosening the policy to a two child limit. One should care about the policy because it can led to forced abortion, unrecorded children, large fines, and other severe punishments.
This week I hope to re- evaluate certain sources and revise the author's credibility, source, and the purpose of the article in my bibliography. I will create notecards sources to help plan the steps for the paper. In the notecards I will paraphrase and state the important aspects and quotes of each article, and comment on how I will use the in my research paper.

Amanda,
ReplyDeleteThat topic sounds very interesting! I always knew that China had some sort of limit on children but I never knew exactly how many.
Good job!
