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.

that they now listen to.

pains.
Sports = A category, not a topic. Needs a purpose statement. For example:

? 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:

Americans now face and what can be done to correct this.
