HSB4M Grade 12 CHALLENGE AND CHANGE IN SOCIETY …



Possible Independent Study Essay Topic Areas

These are only suggested areas of interest. They are not actual essay topics or theses. You need to choose some areas of interest and do some preliminary research to find out enough about the topic to develop a thesis. Try to keep as narrow a focus as possible to increase the likelihood that your essay will have some depth.

Consider two papers about the same length…

Shallow, covers 1500 words a more narrow focus 1500 words

more information covers less on the top

on the surface but can go a lot more

but doesn’t get in depth

very deep
