What are some factors that can help you refine your topic? (Answers may vary.)

What will be an ideal response?


• As your "research-in-progress" continues you may refine and refocus your topic; you may find your initial topic is too broad or too vague; by formulating your topic as a question or series of questions you can sharpen your topic; being selective in your documentation and focusing the material you gather on your topic.
• Your topic should be re-phrased as a question (e.g., "What is a particular radio station's attitude toward women's hip hop groups?"), which should lead to an answer in the form of a thesis (e.g., "The station's attitude toward women's hip hop groups is . . .")
