Topics & Research
- You can research an issue local to your community (local newspaper, township council, governer's office)
- You can choose a national topic (affecting the country)
- Book banning, school shootings, healthcare issues, art, music, physical eduation in schools, climate change issues, protests, and more
- (National news syndicates - to get you started)
- Ask yourself: What do I care about? What are my passions? What would I like to see changed? What would I like to see kept in place?What makes me angry when I see it in the news, and I want to do something about it?
- If you don't have any ideas, please reach out to me - I can provide you with a list of topics as a jumping off point.
I can be successful if…
- I know what an argument is.
- I can find a topic that interests me that has a clear side.
- I can cite words or phrases from the research, make inferences, and support one side of the argument.
- I can analyze and explain what the counterargument is.
- I can write a formal letter.
- I can create a thorough infographic.
- I know what the introduction, body, and conclusion paragraphs are.
