Depending on what your masters is in, I think it would be neat to do your thesis on how to teach students scientific writing. I am a TA for a variety of freshmen and sophomore biology and chemistry classes, and one of the most difficult problems they encounter is how to properly write a scientific paper. The format and use of language is completely different than it is in a paper they might write for an English class. Understanding what to include and how to structure sentences using primarily passive voice are often difficult concepts for many of the students. Many students are appalled at their low grade when they receive their first formal report back. Students usually have not written this type of paper before they come to college. Teaching students how to write excellent scientific papers could be very beneficial. You don't have to use this, but it's an idea that could intergrate an education focus (from your first choice) and your love of science and writing.
