Research Paper Proposal
Date:
February 8, 2013
To:
Prof: Clancy
From:
Stacie Roberts
Subject
of my Paper: Breast Cancer
Why
I am writing this paper and how will it benefit me? I am writing this paper
because I am a 2 year breast cancer survivor, and I would like to a more
research on diet, exercise, leading innovations of research. In addition I
would like to increase my knowledge about environmental causes of research,
looking at different ingredients in food that may be hazardous to your health,
and chemical toxins in household products that may attribute to the onset of
breast cancer in women.
My
Thesis Statement:
Breast
cancer is preventable, and it is not a death sentence.
Approach

· I
will show different viewpoints from many scientists who have been researching
and trying to find a cure.

will also plan to schedule an interview with my own Oncologist on the latest
methodologies in breast cancer.
· Researching
articles, medical journals, and websites
(Scientific
Science & Google Scholar)
· Schedule
meetings, study time with partners, deadlines, rehearsals, and timelines
· 5-8
slides for each subject
· Check
status daily with partner
· Pictures
of preventative medicine
· Images

as a cancer survivor
Timelines:
· Make
a list of questions and start to research answers (2-4 days)
· 7
subjects (5-10 slides); Preventative Medicine, Chemotherapy, Radiation, Diet,
Exercise, Future Innovations & Research, Cells Structures, Assessing Lab
Information
· 2
hours a day dedicated to researching data
· Oral
Interviews (depending on doctors schedules)

once a week for 2 hours to discuss research information
· Add
5 slides a week
Kinds
of resource I will use:
