what makes a good research topic
A good research topic that i have chosen are the first thanksgiving and i also reasearched things about the pilgrims and the indians. I would choose things maybe about the solar system, Social studies and plants and animals. Good Luck. One more thing would be authors like J.K. Rawling, E.B. white, and kate DiCamillo would most likely be a good A for your grade. Good Luck!!!
Something that interests you. If you're not interested in it, then you won't do well with it and you won't get a decent grade.
Try looking through newspapers and newsmagazines until you come to some interesting articles. Don't just zero in on one or two, but find several that are interesting and then check to see that you'll find enough resources to make it worth your time.
