So far, we have chosen our topic, research question, and now created our subtopics. One thing, as your teacher, that I have greatly enjoyed are the variety of topics that all of you have chosen. I don't think there is any one student's research that is like another's. In just 2-4 sentences, share with everyone your topic and question, and how your topic has had some sort of influence over other people.

My research topic is Jennie Finch and she is a famous a softball player who retired at least 3 years ago. She has such a great impact on many young athletes/girls. She has been really good role models for them. She shows them the real meaning of softball. She donates to so many charities that need it. She is such a good player and everyone strives to be like her. She really makes a difference in our world. I hope to make just as much as a difference that she has.

My research topic is the New York Giants football team. The New York Giants football team influences others in many ways. One way the Giants influences others is by giving charities to kids in need, such as books. The team influenced others to always do good things around you, and always help others in need.

For my research project I am doing women's rights. I am focusing on three people who influenced or already influenced people. The three people are Elizabeth Cady Staton, Malala Yousafzai, and Emma Watson. They all fight for different topics about women's rights. People have been influence by these three and many more people from speeches and various other ways.

My research topic is how the NBA is a good influence with their charity work. I chose this topic because I originially was gonna do just how an NBA player is a good influence, but then Mr. Collins helped me guide my research in another direction, and he thought I should do how the NBA as a whole, helps society, so I did. I love my topic, I think it's a very good idea.

My topic is Rachel Carson and my question is "How has a group or person influenced others in a positive way?" Rachel Carson was a marine biologist who wrote several books about nature and the environment. Her most famous book was Silent Spring, it alerted people to the dangers of pesticides and DDT, an insecticide. Her book brought attention to the dangerous effects DDT has on the entire food chain and influenced a ban, and other laws, on or against DDT.

My research topic is Lea Michele and my question is how has this person influenced others. I feel she has influenced other to believe in their self and she has done charity work with breast cancer awareness and habitat for humanity. I also think she sends a messages to people, and that message it's alright to be different and, embrace your difference, don't let it hold you back.

My topic is new technology and I'm doing question 5. This influences people without limbs by giving them a cheap reliable solution to a prosthetic body part. The one other technology that I'm researching is facial recognition. This technology influences cops in a positive way. It can help them find the 1 criminal in a sea of people. This new technology will change the world.

The question I chose was number 5, a new technology with a positive influence on society. For my topic I chose drones. The influence people in a good way because they help the sick and dying (ambulance drone) or those at war (military drone).

My topic is on Albert Einstein and how he influenced the world (question 1). He was not a good student in school, but he taught himself how to learn about what interested him. He went on to be a inventor/scientist/teacher. This influences people because it is important for kids to know that everyone can make a difference and contribute to the world. He also had an iconic hair-do!!! jk!

Im researching pows of ww2. They have influenced the word by showing how hard their life was in the war and at a camp. They also influenced us by showing us how we can prevent treaty people in such unhumane way's. I hope that our world is never brought back to treating people like this again.

My topic is McDonalds. The question I have picked out is how McDonalds has influenced the world in positive and negative ways. McDonalds has really shaped our country and made movement of land and cities. As some of the first restaurants were built, it moved where the central "stations" were. More and more buildings were built around the McDonalds'. Without McDonalds, we wouldn't be as progressed, but also we wouldn't be as obese.

My research topic is Dr. Seuss and I'm doing question number 2. Dr. Seuss has influenced kids through his books. For instance, The Lorax teaches kids about the effects of polution. He also points out that kids who read easy books doesn't necessarily mean they lack an imagination and I want people to realize that.

My topic is cloning. Cloning is when you take one living (or has lived) organism and making a visually identical copy. This can influence everyone by ultimately causing a decrease in population. This can happen since the clones do not have gene diversity, in other words, the clones cant evolve and cant become immune to new diseases or allergies that may or may not develop.
