Editor's Notes
Brainstorming is a great way to come up with a topic. Also, you can look through the articles in our textbook to see if anything is interesting to you. Don’t pick something just because you think it will be easy to do. Pick something that is important or intriguing to you; if your topic is something that engages you, your paper is more likely to be engaging to others. Also, be aware that this is just your topic, not your thesis.
Do not answer these questions in list form. Write a short paragraph 3-4 sentences that covers each part.
For example, if my thesis is “Women around the world are abused more when they are illiterate.” With my thesis as it is, I am obligated to talk about the whole world. If instead I say, “Women in developing countries are abused more when they are illiterate,” then I have a more manageable topic.
Please use MLA, APA, or Chicago for this assignment.
