1. Research Paper Topics help on choosing a good topic

2. Three Rules I approve/decline topics. Topics must be arguable. – Do not choose Abortion or Euthanasia. There must be reputable evidence for and against the topic. – You’ll include both in your paper.

3. Helpful Tip Try to choose a topic related to your chosen career path. Perhaps you can use the paper at University. This is NOT mandatory.

4. Sample Topic Let’s say I want to study education in college. Choosing an education- related topic will help me because I’ll probably have to write something about education. Maybe I can use my paper then, too (or at least some of it).

5. The issue of year-round school is big. Let’s see if it will make a good topic: – Will I find reputable evidence both for and against it? – Will there be enough evidence, or is the topic too new? – Is it too related to religion/faith? It is impossible to argue those topics. You’ll have zero chance of persuading some people.

6. So…. Year-Round Schools Improve Public Education. OR Year-Round Schools Do Not Improve Public Education. I don’t know the answer yet. However, I’ll make my decision as I read the books/articles about it.

7. These Topics are Problematic. Environment. Gun Control. We Should Stop School. People Should Be Nicer. We Should Be Healthier. Ste. Genevieve Should Have Recycling Pick-Up.

8. Be thinking about the perfect topic for you. We’ll talk about it more later.
