Reading: From Topics to Questions

A topic is an interest specific enough to support research that one might plausibly report on in a book or article that helps others to advance their thinking and understanding.

narrow the topic by adding modifying words and phrases. (conflict, desription, contribution and development)

the starting point of good research is always what you do not know or understand but feel you must.

I am studing _____________, because I want to find out who/how/why __________ in order to understand how/why what____________.


I am studing post-traumatic stress disorder, because I want to find out how media can help with the PTSD cure process in order to help children who survived the Sichuan earthquake.
