Blog 7: Formulated Research Plan


Statement of Purpose
While conducting this research I plan to discover the differences of creative writing between male and female writers in a Starbucks environment v. classroom

Detailed Statement
My research questions will be:

What affects the writer's creativity when writing in a classroom v. Starbucks?

How does the smooth jazz selection played in comparison impact the writer's creativity v. no music in a classroom?

Is there any other factors that key in to creativity besides sound and environment?

List of Information Needed to Gather
Before anything, I need to gather my essential supplies such as a notepad and pen to observe my subject. Also, I will need 

to gather a subject or topic of creativity to have my subjects writer about. 

Preliminary list of sources
