Practice Investigation

I've learnt much about the investigation process so far and how to plan and conduct research for the investigation. The investigation needs to consist of an hypothesis; a theoretical question that forms the basis of the investigation, methodology; the documentation of how you conducted your research, The use of linguistic methods to analyse your data and, most importantly, the data itself that will have been collected.
Some tips that I've picked up include choosing a topic you're interested in, so for me that would be something in the media, music or video game industry, using a wide range of linguistic methods to analyse data and keeping to topics you've topics you've previously studied like Gender or Power.
I feel doing an investigation would be eye opening and informative all in all and would offer me new perspectives of English language to analyse.
I feel the investigations based around topics I'm interested in and about Gender will have the most potential as I know a lot about the different specialist areas that interest me and how I can apply language theories and linguistic methods to them.
Websites and tools I could use include sites like Prezi that allow me to make online interactive PowerPoint presentations which could help me enhance my ideas, especially for presentation purposes.
Ideas I've had so far include how language and semantics have changed in rock lyricism from the 1960's to today, the representation of gender in video games and how close to a "natural conversation" they get and the hypothesis of "Are males more likely to be competitive and females co-operative in a competitive environment?"
