Assignment Task:
In this discussion you will begin to brainstorm for your Module 5 Assignment: Researched Argument Essay. You will choose the broad topic you are interested in, and you will begin to think about the questions within that topic that you want to know more about.
Instructions:
1. Brainstorm: Think of general topics you are interested in exploring. Make sure you choose an appropriate topic for a researched argument essay.
2. Research: Access the Points of View Reference Center through the CCCOnline Library. Do some preliminary research. Browse the topic overviews that are related to the general topics you thought of in step 1. Read at least one topic overview and the "Related Items."
3. Think: Consider questions that the topic overview inspires. What do you want to know more about? What is significant about this topic?
4. Write: In your initial discussion post, give the title of the topic overview you read, and list three significant ideas that you learned in your preliminary research. Then, list three significant questions that you could use as the basis of your research for this project. Your questions should be narrowly focused, well defined, and should not have an obvious answer.
