1. Current Issues Research Paper Topic Statement
Topic Statement should consist of THREE parts
Identify your research topic
Discuss why you are interested in this topic
List 3 possible sources (websites, articles, etc.) that you might use.
to when you are done OR by Thursday at 8:20AM

2. Topic Selection Guidelines
Think about something you can make an argument about or prove a point
Something you are interested in enough to focus on for the next 2 months…
Something broad enough for a 4-5 page paper, but specific enough to really get to the meat of the topic
Do not pick something that would be a headline only on ET or ESPN*
No baby mama drama or latest jail scandal
Sports topics are eligible, but you have to be very particular
NFL Protests = good - Trade of Kyrie Irving = bad
Concussion Debate = good
