1.9 Research, organise and present information
Finding a topic
Brainstorm to get the best topic for your research. A good inquiry topic is something you understand, is meaningful to you and are interested in.
It must be a manageable topic, not so big that you can’t finish it and not so small that you can’t find any information on it.
Once you have a general area you have to sort out what you already know about it and what it is you want to find out.
For help with brainstorming see Mind mapping exercise.
Your topic needs to be relevant to your English studies and/or the world you live in. Complete the chart below to help you focus on what you already know.
