Re: Research Paper

What are your requirements?

Before you go gung-ho collecting ideas from CD, make sure you are allowed to do something as uncomplicated as the "History and Purpose" of FIRST. At my kid's high school, the paper had to be on an issue or on a topic where you had to take a position or could synthesize your own conclusions. In other words, develop a thesis and prove or disprove it.

They also needed to use scholarly sources - published materials. Internet websites were limited in number and in type. USFIRST.org would be allowed, but for limited use.

Are you planning on developing a survey with an opportunity for some specific quote gathering? If you can prove it is a primary source, I think that is the only way a source like CD would be allowed.
