Phi Theta Kappa Honors in Action

Phi Theta Kappa Honors in Action Project

Current Honors Study Topic: The Art and Science of Play

Research guidelines:

• Read the Honors Study Guide linked below for inspiration. We must choose one of the 7 themes for our project.
• Start with a basic internet search or use reference (encyclopedia) or popular (magazine/newspaper) resources to learn more about your initial topic ideas, but make sure the sources you cite are scholarly.
• Remember that your research should lead you to an actionable response developed through critical thinking and reflection on the sources you find.
• Look for sources from varying or opposing perspectives; don't just find articles that agree with your point of view.
• Don't be afraid to modify or change your research question based on what you discover while doing research!
