Project Summary: You’ve chosen a topic you care about, and you probably have a good idea of what your position will be. To have a strong position that you can defend, you will need to dig in and learn everything you can about your topic. That means doing research. While you research, ask yourself: “Why am I passionate about this topic? What do other people think about it?” Your research will help you narrow your focus, and find strong, credible facts and statistics to support your position.
