A Research Proposal and Annotated Bibliography on Alzheimer's and the Prevention
Overall, Alzheimer’s disease is a horrible, degrading disease that ruins lives and families. I have witnessed first hand the effects of Alzheimer’s from my workplace and even in my own family. I believe that by reading this research paper, high schoolers will be able to identify alzheimer’s and use the techniques stated to prevent the terrible disease. I would, also, like to interview my peers to ask them what they understand about the disease and make a separate paragraph dedicated to what they had to say. Moreover, I will achieve a great annotated bibliography with accomplishing my set goals.

I will, overall, be writing my paper as a formal academic paper, because I am comfortable with how the format of my paper would fit along the same lines. However, I do not believe that the formality will be enough to make my paper well-rounded. I will also be using a public genre by asking questions to my peers and logging their responses to use in my paper.

Week I - Complete and turn in my outline for my working annotated bibliography.
Week II-Review my articles and web databases for working information and adding information into a working bibliography.
Week III- Setup interviewed times with peers to question about their knowledge of Alzheimer’s Disease. Start rough draft.

Week VII- Have a peer look over my rough draft and take into consideration their observations, and fix as …show more content…
This online news article is a kind of twist on the my “prevention” part of my paper. This article tells the findings of a United Kingdom boy named Krtin Nithiyanandam, who has come up with a groundbreaking test that can detect Alzheimer’s before it can even start. He has created an antibody in which can attack and detect the presence of neurotoxic proteins, which are present in Alzheimer’s Disease.

I will use this video to give statistics throughout my paper and in my questionnaire. The video talks about how 1 of 3 people will be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Another aweing statistic is that Alzheimer’s is the 6th leading cause of death, this rate is higher than people with breast and prostate cancer combined.
