2. Choosing a Topic Question  Keep in mind that you are expected to come up with a question that you will be willing to spend HOURS of time researching.  Choose something that interests you!  Your topic needs to be something specific, but also something that you will be able to find resources for.  All topics will be approved/REJECTED by me.
