Chapter 1: Defining and Research Topic...
4. Narrowing Your Topic
Finding too much information may mean that you
need to narrow your topic.
For example,
Butterflies
is more specific than
insects
...and
Monarch Butterflies
is more
specific than
Butterflies
More ideas...
Try rewording your question with more specific terms.
For example, instead of asking, "What are the laws on drinking and driving?" ask: "What are
California's
laws on drinking and driving?"...
Or instead of asking, "What are the statistics on drinking and driving?" ask: "What are the statistics on
Teenage
drinking and driving?"
