Document Summary
First step in research is determining what questions to ask and what inquiries to pursue. Pick a text that moves you and start brainstorming questions about it. Use these questions to arrive at a possible research topic. Determining research questions is the first step to any research project. Key principle to choosing a good research topic: successful topics need to interest you, inspire you, or even provoke you. Even if a topic has been assigned to you, make it your own through your research questions: argue your own point/perspective of a topic. Looking for the perfect topic : look inward, look outward, use creative visualization, use the materials of the moment. Organize your ideas, collect your materials, chart your progress, and assemble the different pieces of your research. Use it to develop an interesting and provocative research project that tracks sources used along the way: possible uses may include. Write reaction to ideas brought up in class discussions.
