Focusing on available part time jobs for teenagers, I will discover the attraction between part time employers such as McDonald's and teenagers. What leads teenagers to work for employers with low wages, the
b) Other phrases such as:
McDonald's
McDonald's and teenagers
Part time jobs for teenagers
c) Checking databases, I found a few good sites. he majority of the very minimal searches that I have encountered are based upon trade/professional enquirers. I found out that students normally drop out of high school because of the opportunities that money provides. On the other hand, students rate drops because of spending time at work and focusing less on school work. For some people, there are no choices, therefore they have to drop out to support themselves and family. The difficulty behind the topic that I have chosen is that, the wording can cause fewer searches. But by over concentrating on specific areas the increase in teenagers with part time jobs, I can come to see overall reasons for the to chose this line of work. But I did find a very good article that was professionally written by university professors.
d) Bibliographic searches:
-Singh, Kusum, Chang, Mido, Dika, Sandra. Effects of part-time work on school achievement during high school. Journal of Educational Research, Vol 101(1), Sep-Oct 2007. pp. 12-22. Academic Search Premier. Nov. 1, 2007.
-Greenhouse, Steve. Still Jumping in the work pool. The New York Times. 2007, Aug 12. LexisNexis Academic. Nov.1, 2007.
-Jan, Tracy. "4-year diploma rate lags in Hub; Nearly half in high school don't finish on time; Study identifies pupils at risk". The Boston Global. 2007, Sept. 27. LexisNexis Academic. Nov. 1, 2007.
My next step would be to visit sites such as the San Francisco Chronicle, New York Times, LA Times, etc. I believe that there will be certain information that can lead me to find or expand on the overall topic.

You did a good job on this entry, but you didn't quite work on the assignment.
Last week, I asked you to think of a topic related to your cluster. Somehow, I didn't notice last week that you hadn't done that.
This week, you were put in groups and asked to help each other refine the topic further and this week, you were asked to re-state it in its refined form.
I'm not sure what happened in your group. Did you work on this topic or work on a different question related to your cluster.
While I'm impressed with the discoveries you're making, I'd like you to find a topic in your cluster. Unless you are doing this as a topic for another class this quarter.
