Writing 105: Leadership and Leading (Professor Granger)

Developing a Topic

  1. Ideation: Come up with a general idea based on your interests and on the course content
  2. Background Research: Find out more about the topic, including sub-topics, basic information, and how it connects to your course topics.
  3. Narrowing or New Topic: Select a sub-topic based on what you find, or pick a new topic if there is not enough material (if so, return to step 1)
  4. In-Depth Research: Begin researching your sub-topic more deeply. Repeat prior steps as necessary.
