Monday, February 11 ... Continuing Research



Keep on breaking down your sources for your research and BEGIN thinking about the specific direction you want to go in for your paper/thesis

  • Examples ... 
    • The Beatles >>> The Beatles and Their Impact on the Civil Rights Movement
    • Medieval Torture >>> Torture and the Catholic Church During the Inquisition
  • If you are stumped ... try a quick Google search for ideas ... "Thesis Ideas for ... " or "Research Ideas for ... " and see if that helps.  If not, see me.
