  1. Great start Nancy! Here is some feedback:

    Step One: Why did you choose coca-cola as your focus corporation? Why is this research important to you? In terms of what you need to find out, can you be more specific? What do you mean by "process?" It seems like you are mainly interested in investigating the production and distribution (and sales) of coke.

    Step 2: Great questions except the last question seems to make assumptions about the "type" of person who drinks coke. How are you classifying people who drink coke? In terms of economics, race, social background, etc? Or in some other way. Perhaps a better way to phrase the question is: how many people drink coke? Or, what are some social trends in terms of the coke consuming population?

    step 3: Make sure for your key words and phrases that they are focused enough so that when you plug them into online databases and search engines, you get the research and resources that you need. You want to make sure that the phrases include references to coke so that the articles you find are helpful!

    Good work! Keep on developing your plan!
