Step+1

__**Step 1**__

The first part of the project is to choose a topic for research. Your topic should be very specific. You want to become an expert on something, not generally informed about a lot of things, for this assignment.

For example:

You might be thinking about researching hockey. Here are some more refined areas that you could research:


 * Hockey sticks
 * A hockey player
 * How to make good ice
 * A specific game of particular importance (like a Stanley Cup game 7 from 2007)
 * A coach
 * A type of injury often sustained by hockey players

Notice how much more specific these topics are compared to "hockey."

It's also important to choose a topic that you don't know too much about already. Remember that the point of research is to learn something new.

Make sure that you clear your topic with Mr. Ripkens before proceeding to step 2.
