For my social action research project I think I'm going to do something on child development. This topic is pretty important to me because child development is my minor and I will be teaching my students about it in the future. One thing I'm thinking about doing is how social class affects child development in the United States. Some kids, while growing up, are very privileged in what their parents can offer them, while others are provided just enough to get by.
To research this project I may interview my peers about how they were raised and different things they were in involved in as kids. Depending on where they're from and their background there's going to be some differences in their childhoods. I can also use the internet and books to find research done on this topic.
I think finding out more about this will help me when I'm teaching students in the future. Not only will it help me understand my students better but it will help them understand each other a little better.

I think this is a great idea. It is also good that you will be able to use the information you learn in your future to teach others about this topic.
