RJA #3b: Narrowing Research Topic

At this point I think that my topic is broad enough to conduct research. I think I will decide whether or not to narrow it once I see specifically what kind of information is out there. I have different ideas about what I may be looking for but that does not mean that is what I will find. If I were going to narrow my topic I would have to analyze and organize the information. Then figure out what is useful and what I can do more research so that I have a lot of information to back up my argument. I can wait until I have all the information compiled and organized, write a thesis/topic sentence and see what other information I can add on to or find. Extending on information may be an easier more productive way other than finding all new information. If I find my topic is too narrow (which could happen) I can figure out specific points that I want to point out and discuss. I can also expand specific points into sub-topics to answer other possibles wonders. It can be a simple process to expand or narrow a topic you just have to play with what you have.
