I, Kara McAllister, will change my image before the end of the school year. By "change my image" I mean "get a boyfriend." And I know exactly how I'm going to do it. I'll apply both my brains and the scientific method to the project. Hey, if the scientific method helped real scientists figure out the structure of an atom, surely it can help me figure out how to find a boyfriend!     This pack of index cards will be perfect for inconspicuously taking notes on my subjects (boys) in their natural setting (school). The scientific term for this is "unobtrusive observation." What method of research could possibly be easier? All you have to do is be a little sly while looking around.     I'll be the seventh grade version of Jane Goodall, except I'll be observing boys, instead of chimps. Not that there's a huge difference. Excerpted from The Boy Project: Notes and Observations of Kara McAllister by Kami Kinard All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
