State Topic As A Question

       pad and pencil

 


A good way to start your research is to state your topic as a question. This will help you clarify your thoughts and define your topic.

   
 
For example, if your topic is drinking and driving, you could ask questions such as:
How does drinking affect driving?
What are the laws on drinking and driving?
What are the statistics on drinking and driving?
