Picking a Topic | https://guides.lib.byu.edu/c.php?g=216340&p=1428396
Before you begin searching for articles, it helps to have a topic in mind. Start broad and brainstorm. Ask yourself:
What am I interested in?
have I heard in the news?
What’s something that affects me personally?
It is important to pick a topic that is relevant to you personally, not just one that you think you will be able to find a lot of information on. There is information out there on every topic (the trick is finding the right key words, and we’ll address that in Finding Articles), so don’t worry about being able to find articles. Remember, you’re going to be spending quite a bit of time with this topic, so pick one that you’re going to enjoy writing about.
