Topic Ideas
So any options...People, Places, Things, Ideas, Science, Technology, Business, Health, Medicine, Education, Social Issues, Crime, Food...
BUT
- A topic could be too big and too general - you will find too much information
- A topic could be too specific - you won't find enough information
What Makes a Good Topic?
Using Pre-Research to Understand Your Topic
A good topic
- Interests you! You'll enjoy it and do a better job
- Meets the requirements of your assignment
- Is broad enough to give you several search options
- Is focused enough that you're not overwhelmed with information
