What is your broader subject area? Why did you choose this?

Keeping the elderly involved is my subject and I chose this because as you look at the elderly in our society they are always in an overly relaxed non exciting environment not having fun like the "old days."  It will be interesting to find out and research some easy fun things or something nice to spice up their lives and look at it through their point of view.
What is your narrowed topic? why?

My narrowed topic is more based on smaller things that the elders can be involved with or things our society should change or build so that the old people will have something to go to and do just like the younger generation that is up and coming.  If you look at it in a way where you notice that we are always building things for young people like sports facilities, play areas like action city, water parks and bunches of fun places for the youth, but why then don't we do the same for someone who is older?  I think we should build more golf courses and country clubs or dinner clubs.  Something an older person would like.

What are some early ideas for this project? Where will you look, who will you ask?

Possibly interviewing an elderly couple or person to see what they view fun as and what they would be interested in doing if we were to build a place for old people.  It would be good to get people who are mid 50's to early 60's because they will be the first up coming generation that would utilize these places and enjoy some life spark.

What is your plan to accomplish this project? How will you approach work time?

My plan is to accomplish everything early and on time considering that interview are a strong possibility.  Giving myself enough time to do an interview or possibly multiple ones will give me a more broad set of data to pull me to a conclusion of how to fix the problem.  Work time needs to be managed strongly around my baseball schedule and would be very useful if I get a lot of in-class lab time to finish this since practice runs everyday after school and games run even more late.
