In class today you received your assigned research topic. Keep in mind that this topic is very general and could cover dozens, or even hundreds, of subtopics. Your goal in this assignment is to identify as many of those subtopics as possible.
Start with a google search of your topic and some related terms. This is not an advisable strategy for finding credible academic sources, but finding credible sources is not your goal here. You are, instead, trying to identify the kinds of things people are already saying about your topic.
Using our in-class activity on the topic of bicycling as a model, create a list of as many subtopics (a minimum of ten) as possible. Spend at least one hour reading and skimming articles. If your list of subtopics contains only ten entries, the expectation is for you to have read the articles in more depth than a person with, say, 100 entries.
Please bring your list to Wednesday's class. It does not need to be typed. Let me know if you have questions or problems.
