Well dang…that didn’t work … lost what I’d done… trying again without the comments for now
Stephanie & I have been discussing my psych paper – and my longer term plans for grad school – elsewhere … reposting here in hopes that shakespearemom might be inclined to stop by and give her input 
YOUR input is welcome and will be much appreciated even if you’re not shakespearemom though
So …I’ve decided to go with quick and easier … rather than do the interview/research option, I think I’m just going to write a research paper – can get it done faster – which given how quickly the summer is flying by, is important… I need to have it done before I start at Trent.
Well … not really …but I very much want to have it done before then…
so …. need to come up with a topic.
Ideally, will be something I can use when it comes to my MA/Phd work…. so something re: fictions and adolescents would be good…
The guidelines …
Topics should be related to one of the following themes reviewed in the course:
- Social problems and adolescent delinquency
- Gender and adolescence (i.e., the experience of growing up male or female)
- Identity development during adolescence
- The role of culture in adolescent development
I am thinking I could maybe go back to the issues I addressed in the first theory paper re: Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet – the one re: fiction & kids in care – focus on the psychology stuff rather than on Anthem…. ? Tie it somehow into treatment programs for juvenile delinquents, i.e. the first bullet option… therapeutic recreation …
Thoughts? Questions? (Questions are the thing I most miss from my collaborators, actually – it’s usually your questions about what I’m doing that help me to frame where I’m going)
