Online communities

- YouTube or Instagram communities (celebrities/genres, such as models/people who do make-up tutorials)
Composing a Research Plan
In a google drive document, have a "research plan" for Wednesday including AT LEAST ONE:
1) problem you might address
2) community where the problem EXISTS and that will accommodate your potential solution to the problem
Remember the "research cycle" model from our first library visit -- it's OK if this stuff changes as a result of the research you do!
