歪打正着，我家老大刚刚写了自己未来的工作，儿科医生

Questions that need answers for my Occupation Paper: 

 

Your job is to journal about all the questions that you can answer without any additional information. Be as descriptive and detailed as you can in this journaling activity. 

 

Highlight the questions on here that you need to research in order to answer the question completely. If you come up with new questions to research - add a new row and put all your additional questions in BLUE TEXT. All your research information should also be in blue text. Make sure to put direct quotes into quotation marks on this document so that you know later what needs to be cited as a direct quote.  

 

Some of these you might be able to journal a few things but will need to find additional information somewhere else. Keep track of the questions that come to mind that you need to research to find more information as you journal. You will need to record those questions on a separate assignment question.
