The document discusses potential topics for a Think Quest project but notes that "Music", "Sports", and "Native Americans" are categories, not topics. It provides examples of purpose statements that could turn these categories into well-defined topics, such as teaching about orchestra instruments, opportunities for female football players, and injustices faced by Native Americans. Example links/pages are also outlined for each potential topic.

- 1. THINK QUEST TOPICS Music = A category, not a topic. Needs a purpose statement. For example:  To teach the basics of the different orchestra instrument sounds so other students can start to appreciate orchestra music as well as the rap music, etc., that they now listen to.  To explain how CDs are made and marketed.  To introduce people to how music can be used to heal emotional and physical pains. Sports = A category, not a topic. Needs a purpose statement. For example:  To show females the opportunities that exist for them as football players.  To make people aware of outstanding Native American athletes in a variety of sports.  To let people experience what it is like to be a competitive runner by having them go through a virtual warm-up, workout, and race. Native Americans = A category, not a topic. Needs a purpose statement. For example:  To teach people about the injustices and poor opportunities Native Americans now face and what can be done to correct this.  To explore the wide variety of business opportunities Natives living on reservations can develop to decrease their levels of poverty and unemployment.  To address the causes and solutions to the high rate of suicide among Native American youths.
