Proposal Blog
For this wave, I will be writing a piece about extremely talented children. From child prodogies and geniuses in the real world to their representation in the media, I want to cover a wide scope of the enitre subject. I believe this will be more of an opinion piece, for it isn't really about any certain event and I want their to be humor. More of a magazine article then a hard news article. I want to include information from one of my favorite author John Green's books, An Abundance of Katherines, Doogie Howser MD, child stars like Drew Barrymore and Lindsey Lohan, and several other accerlerted children that have graduated college young or something substantial like that. For this I plan to do a massive amount of research so that I make the piece through and without many bases uncovered. I plan to do several days of research before compling the piece, and I don't know any child geniuses or superstars so I will not be doing any interviews. I believe the piece will be interesting and many students will find it to be so, therefore making it a great contribution to the website.

This sounds great, Ellie. I think that you have outlined a rather successful plan. If you feel that you want to include an interview about anyone, I know a kid who graduated from high school 3 years (I think) early and got a masters degree before he turned 20. He works now on independent projects in San Francisco, and I may be able to get a hold of him if you're interested. Just let me know.
