Week 1: The class was introduced to wonderwheel, which is a method of research on google. it's useful and makes searching for a topic or something easier and you know exactly what you want to do. i found it vey easy to use.

Week 2: I spent majority of this week researching and brainstorming ideas and i decided that i wanted to do wing chun. it's a form of martial arts that i participate in outside of school and devote my time to developing skills for wing chun.

Week 3: during this week i started to write up my proposal for research project. I also was introduced to the CRAP system, which is a method of evaluating. it stands for currency, reliability, authority and purpose.

Week 4: This week i worked with my friend who is helping me out with the research project. I also started my bibliography of the books i will be using and the sites i have already looked at. the books i have chosen are

Week 5: in this week i have started to write up my reseach side of the topic. i also see my friend who is helping me out with this subje Week 6: Survey questions, more resaerch on history and lineage of wing chun. i spoke to another teacher of mine about the hierarchy in hong kong and the level of owe teacher Albert. ====== Week 7: This week i am finalizing questions for a on line survey of Wing Chun students. and the interview questions for leading Wing Chun practitioners.(i.e people who have have status as leaders of the art, which is established by the fact that they have all trained in hong kong with Sigung). i am doing it this way because i think its an efficent way of hatherying the information from ostudents and leaders in Wing Chun.

Week 8: I started my online survey drafted and the interveiw questions. i have decided to recorde my interviews by a voice recorder. I will send my survey to the Wing Chun community because only people who have studied wing chun can answer these questions.

Week 9: i have done the good copy of the on line survey questions and is ready to send out. i have did the discussion with miss.Mckines and i have also sent the survey to the international wing chun academy, but i could not send it indevidualy because i need to talk to the adminestrator, so i can send it out induvidualy.

Week 10: Week 11: Week 12: Week 13: Week 14: Week 15:

What? The topic is Wing Chun, which is a form of Kung Fu and a combative art.

Why? I chose Wing Chun because its been a part of my life and still is and it has grown for me. Also my parents do it as well, so I would like for every one to understand it as a art for health, culture and a way of life rather than a combative art this is the last thing it is.

When? I will do my research out side of home and school like interviews at the academy and my teacher. I will do this when I am ready.

who? I will get my research off of my teacher and my dad plus the academy.

how? My research is coming from knowledge i have already known from the past. but also i will go deeper than that and conduct interviews and surveys to get others opinions. internet books is also another area i am looking at.

PROPOSAL The topic I have chosen to study is Wing Chun which is a form of Kung Fu. I will be researching this topic in-depth, by interviewing, using the internet and through books and other media. I also practice this martial arts system, and so do my parents so it is of high interest to me. But it is also is worth studying because many people have learned of this art, especially through movies, but they don’t understand where it comes from and the influence it has had in Chinese culture as well as in Australia as a multicultural country. I will use a questionnaire with students and teachers at the Wing Chun Academy on Gouger Street, and through an on-line survey to try to understand their reasons for doing Wing Chun. I also will interview my teachers and my parents to explore the influence it has had on their lives. In particular, I will investigate the line of leading practitiomers, explore how they got into the style and how it evolved over time. I think that I will find out a lot about traditional Wing Chun, how it came to be the system and art it is today in Australia, and what motivates people to put the time and effort into its practice.

In week 8 i spoke with mrs. Hewitson about my topic and she suggested that i do a practical as well as the write up. mrs. Hewitson suggested i teach a class of people about 20-30 people and it will be filmed. so people can see what is really is and its not just imaginary from the write up. i dont no yet how im going to get the people yet but its most likly going to be hand picked.
