Starting points for a topic:
- book or article from a class
- topic/issue of interest
- character from a piece of literature
- favorite author
- interest in a specific time period or genre
What other questions might I need to ask?
- Do I have something new to investigate?
- Is there an unanswered question I have wondered about?
- Is my topic too broad or narrow? In what ways can I modify it? Think of population (e.g. gender, age), time period, issue, genre etc.
