Developing a Topic
- Ideation: Come up with a general idea based on your interests and on the course content
- Background Research: Find out more about the topic, including sub-topics, basic information, and how it connects to your course topics.
- 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)
- In-Depth Research: Begin researching your sub-topic more deeply. Repeat prior steps as necessary.
