What have you read to think and learn more about your topic and questions?
I have brainstormed with some friends who have been to both public school and private school and they have given me more questions to think about regarding my topic.
Who do you plan to speak with internally? What do you hope to learn from these conversations? What is the first question you want to ask that person? the most important question you want to ask that person? (List the first question and the most important question for each potential internal expert.)
I plan to speak to students at both private and public schools, teachers who have taught at both, and parents who have kids at both. The first thing I want to ask the students and teachers is what are the major differences at both types of schools. The first thing I want to ask the parents is what made them choose either private or public and if they see any major differences in their kids.
Who do you want to communicate with externally? What do you hope to learn from these conversations? What is the first question you want to ask that person? the most important question you want to ask that person? (List the first question and the most important question for each potential internal expert.) This conversation is required if you're going for an E.
I am planning to communicate with Hudson Lindenberger who wrote the article “Private School vs. Public School: Facts, Benefits & Statistics.” I believe that he is extremely knowledgeable about this topic and can help me better understand his own article, ultimately benefiting my understanding of my topic.
What are the next questions that will help you develop your thinking on your topic?
Is private school “worth it?”
What more do you need (research-wise, refinement of ideas-wise, what ideas or questions do you need to clarify, etc.)?
I need to have as many conversations as possible with people who are knowledgeable about this topic. This will help refine my ideas and expand my thinking.
