Discovering Topics

Directions: In order to determine your topic for your research synthesis, you must first begin to test what you want to say, what you want to say and who you want to say it to. First, read LBH 14-16 and answer 1.5--LBH p.17--to create an academic question. Perform exercise 2.5 on p. 35 to create your topic.

Initial reply due before class on Thursday, November 13th. 

Reply to classmate: ask a question that will provoke your classmate to think more deeply about his or her topic. For instance, if the topic is too broad, ask a question that will encourage your classmate to think about one specific area of the topic. If the topic is too narrow, ask a question that will encourage your classmate to think more deeply about the issue, which will widen his/her scope.

Due before 5pm on Friday, November 14th.

  11. thank you for making me rethink about my topic. I think there is a lot of evidence to prove and back up my topic based on what is going on around the globe and based on how people see it based on the situations they got to face or are facing during their life time.
