Research Proposal

Research Proposal!
Statement of Interest: After Hurricane Katrina, all I could think about was how bad I felt for the kids who were suffering.
Topic: Child Poverty in the Gulf States after Hurricane Katrina
Research Question: In what ways did Hurricane Katrina affect the rate of child poverty in the Gulf States and the lives of the children?Main Claims:- Hurricane Katrina caused an increase in poverty in the Gulf States- Hurricane Katrina affected the lives of children on an educational, health and personal life basis
Methodology
I am going to use online sources/ books/magazines to collect data since I can’t personally go to the Gulf States and see the damage for myself. Charts, numbers and graphs will help prove the damage that Hurricane Katrina has caused.
