Conference Reflection

Today I had a conference with Megan and by the end of the conference I was able to find the right direction that I want my inquiry to go in. Initially, I proposed to Megan and my group that I was interested in inquiring on how social classes in education affects the growth of our economy but with the assistance of Megan I was able to narrow my subject down to how social classes in education affects students preparation for college. Megan told me to focus on a certain group in an certain area that appeals to my subject and to base this group not only on my interest but on what I may be able to find the most valuable research on. The most helpful advice I received was to stay specific in my subject matter and focus on one side of the argument first so my inquiry will not become overwhelming. My least helpful advice was relating the social classes in America to those in other countries. When my curiosity sparked I was left with a series of questions. Megan assisted me by laying out my inquiry paper based on these series of questions. I plan on basing the first half of my paper on our currentlt idea and views of social classes, my second half of the paper will focus on where this idea started and I will conclude with the progression of this idea.
