1. Write a topic sentence
Example:
|
To begin your search for education information, write down
one or more ideas for a topic in sentence form. Try to express
your topic as a question. The topic should be narrow enough
that what you are trying to investigate is clearly defined,
but broad enough that you are likely to find sufficient information
in published sources.
What is the preferred curricular plan for elementary students
with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?

|
Know little or nothing about the topic?

Consult your textbook. Its index or table of contents may
list related terms.
Consult a specialized dictionary or encyclopedia, such as
The Encyclopedia of Education [Ref LB15.E47 2003].
Ask
a Librarian to help you develop a topic.
