ENGL 057 - Critical Connections in Reading and Writing - Allen-Gleed

1. Identify your Topic

A topic is a starting point, and is usually the 2-3 words you will respond with when someone asks "what is your paper about?" If you're not sure what you want to write about, "picking up" a newspaper is sure to spark some ideas! You can read newspaper articles from around the globe to get an idea of what the current conversation is about what interests you.
