Ultimately, you will be narrowing it down to one topic, but no two students in the class will be doing the same topic, so have a couple topics/choices you like. Bring your possibilities to class to conference with your teacher.

1. A rhetorical precis of the professional article from NY Times. 2. Links to at least 4-5 sources so we can evaluate which articles are credible and useful. 3. A working thesis statement (this can be revised/refined later). 4. A parent signature, indicating they approve of your topic.
