Step 1 for your research paper

I need support with this English question so I can learn better.

Step 1 for your research paper is Finding a Topic, and it consists of four brainstorming activities. Of all of the research steps we complete, it is the most creative, so try to have some fun with it! Once you declare your topic, you are not “stuck” with it; it you want to change it, you can. We just need to get started on something.

Remember to use the Databases, CQ Researcher Online and Opposing Viewpoints in Context, to help you fine tune your research topic.

Instructions:

There are 4 parts to Step 1, and they are listed below:

1. List any 10 topics about which you are willing to research/investigate further.
2. Narrow your 10-item list to your 3 favorite ideas and Draw 3 clusters–1 cluster for each of your chosen topics (see the student Sample Step 1 for a sample).
3. From your 3 clusters, choose 1 topic and complete the “Topic Narrowing Exercise.” (download or open the pdf, fill it out, and attach to your assignment).
4. Write a small paragraph (4-5 sentences) about your topic:

• What is your topic?
• Why did you choose this topic?
• What do you already know about the topic?
• What is your research question (what are you trying to prove)?
