                                       Research Design Proposal


                                         Research Paper Topic


  For our multimedia project we will be exploring war amputations. We will research how an

amputation occurs, the psychological effects from having an amputation, and the advancing

technologies that make an amputation possible today.


        What We Know about the Topic at This Point, and Why We Are Interested in this Topic


  We have all learned similar insights on amputations. Sarena is researching how an amputation can

occur, and the actual process of the surgery. She found that most amputations evolve from stepping on

hidden bombs and booby traps. She has also been learning about different infections that can happen

after a war amputation. Olivia, who is researching psychological effects of amputations, has learned

about amputees from war who have been affected psychologically. She has also talked to her cousin, a

recent Afghanistan war amputee, who was able to provide her with information on how he is currently

overcoming his amputation. Bethany is researching the technological advances used in amputation

surgery. She has discovered that there has been a recent increase in prosthetics, including new

machines such as the C-limb. She has also found that prosthetic limbs are being developed that will tell

the brain when to move the limb. We are interested in this topic because Olivia has personal experience

with this issue, and we would like to know more about it.
What We Want To Learn


  We would like to learn of the psychological recovery of a war amputee, and how their families play a

role in their recovery. We would like to learn of more advancing technologies that will increase

knowledge and provide surgical help during an amputation. We also want to know what the different

causes of amputations are. What disadvantages does an amputation put on the human body? What

infections can come from a recent amputation?


                         Our Initial List of Questions We Have About Our Topic


1. What are the different parts of a prosthetic limb?


2. What medical advances have been made for prosthetic limbs since the 21st century?


3. How do amputations affect the families of the amputees?


4. What are the steps of recovery that some amputees require?


5. How do the amputee’s family and friends affect their recovery?


6. What is PLP? What psychological effect does it have on an amputee?


7. What are the causes of amputations?


8. What infections can occur after a war amputation?


9. What is the amputation process?


10. What effects has this war had on the advances of prosthetic limbs?


11. Why do some amputees believe that there is no hope for them after an amputation?


12. What are the differences between the advances in the 21st century versus before WWII.
Our Three Primary Research Questions


Topic: How does an amputation affect soldiers and veterans?


    1. What are the psychological effects on an amputee?

    2. What effects has this war had on the advances of prosthetic limbs?

    3. How and why does an amputation occur?




                                           Our Research Plan


  We plan to use Gale Virtual Library, SIRS, Galileo, Student Research Center, and Google News. In

addition to those resources, we will be using Netvibes to organize and manage our information for our

project. We each plan to divide up the three research questions according to whichever interests us the

most. Each of us plans to set a date for when we will have our portion of the project done. As we cite

our sources, we will be using EasyBib. Each of us will have access to what we post in Google Docs,

including helpful sites, and notes.




                                         Content Creation Tools


  Our content creation tool is going to be VoiceThread.


                                         Final Learning Product


 We will be combining a digital text with some multigenre text aspects. We think VoiceThread will be a

great medium for us because it is a creative way to get the point across. We want people to not only be

persuaded to care about our topic, but to be inspired by our words and take action in assisting war
amputees. We would also like for viewers to understand how severe an amputation can be and the

effects that it has on the human body and a person's life. A shaping sheet will be more beneficial

because it is more organized than a mindmap, and it completely sums up the outline of the paper.

She has also been learning about different infections that can happen after a war amputation. Olivia, who is researching psychological effects of amputations, has learned about amputees from war who have been affected psychologically. She has also talked to her cousin, a recent Afghanistan war amputee, who was able to provide her with information on how he is currently overcoming his amputation. Bethany is researching the technological advances used in amputation surgery. She has discovered that there has been a recent increase in prosthetics, including new machines such as the C-limb. She has also found that prosthetic limbs are being developed that will tell the brain when to move the limb. We are interested in this topic because Olivia has personal experience with this issue, and we would like to know more about it.
  • 2. What We Want To Learn We would like to learn of the psychological recovery of a war amputee, and how their families play a role in their recovery. We would like to learn of more advancing technologies that will increase knowledge and provide surgical help during an amputation. We also want to know what the different causes of amputations are. What disadvantages does an amputation put on the human body? What infections can come from a recent amputation? Our Initial List of Questions We Have About Our Topic 1. What are the different parts of a prosthetic limb? 2. What medical advances have been made for prosthetic limbs since the 21st century? 3. How do amputations affect the families of the amputees? 4. What are the steps of recovery that some amputees require? 5. How do the amputee’s family and friends affect their recovery? 6. What is PLP? What psychological effect does it have on an amputee? 7. What are the causes of amputations? 8. What infections can occur after a war amputation? 9. What is the amputation process? 10. What effects has this war had on the advances of prosthetic limbs? 11. Why do some amputees believe that there is no hope for them after an amputation? 12. What are the differences between the advances in the 21st century versus before WWII.
  • 3. Our Three Primary Research Questions Topic: How does an amputation affect soldiers and veterans? 1. What are the psychological effects on an amputee? 2. What effects has this war had on the advances of prosthetic limbs? 3. How and why does an amputation occur? Our Research Plan We plan to use Gale Virtual Library, SIRS, Galileo, Student Research Center, and Google News. In addition to those resources, we will be using Netvibes to organize and manage our information for our project. We each plan to divide up the three research questions according to whichever interests us the most. Each of us plans to set a date for when we will have our portion of the project done. As we cite our sources, we will be using EasyBib. Each of us will have access to what we post in Google Docs, including helpful sites, and notes. Content Creation Tools Our content creation tool is going to be VoiceThread. Final Learning Product We will be combining a digital text with some multigenre text aspects. We think VoiceThread will be a great medium for us because it is a creative way to get the point across. We want people to not only be persuaded to care about our topic, but to be inspired by our words and take action in assisting war
  • 4. amputees. We would also like for viewers to understand how severe an amputation can be and the effects that it has on the human body and a person's life. A shaping sheet will be more beneficial because it is more organized than a mindmap, and it completely sums up the outline of the paper. Preliminary Bibliography Benetato, Bonnie B.
