GATHERING+INFORMATION.

Developing A Research Proposal
All student projects must be "greenlighted" before they can become part of our collaborative research project.

**Step 1.** Formulate an interesting question closely related to our inquiry on ICarly. **Step 2.** Select one or more research methods. Options: --online and library research --interviewing, observation --content analysis **Step 3.** Develop a research proposal. Your proposal should state your **research question** and offer a **rationale** for why it is interesting or important. Then your proposal should offer a **step-by-step description of the work plan**, explaining in detail the process you think you will use to complete the project. You should offers some predictions or **expectations** about what you think you might find. The more specific details you can provide in your proposal, the more likely it is you'll get the "green light" to move forward.
