Rose.TopicTalk.Proposal

The topic I have settled on is Type 1 (Juvenile) Diabetes. I chose this topic because my younger sister is a diabetic. Her diagnosis was a shock, so I believe it is important to spread knowledge of the autoimmune disease.
 * What topic have you settled on, and why?**

I would like my audience to be my peers. Many people have misconceptions about type 1 diabetes. It has been said that if you want to see change in the world, start with today's youth. For that reason, I wish to tell my teenage peers //the truth// about the autoimmune disease. Perhaps they can use this knowledge later in life should they ever encounter any young diabetics? The more awareness the better!
 * For what audience(s) and purpose(s) might you design this project?**

I might use books about Juvenile Diabetes; medical journals; my sister's own diabetic books and information
 * What sources might you draw on?**

I might use comparative diagrams; diary entries from a child with diabetes or endocrinologist; magazine articles or ads on diabetics and diabetic supplies
 * What genres might you use to represent your work?**
