At the beginning you may not be sure what you’d like to research, so you will probably need to do some reading to determine what is interesting to you. • When you decide on a potential topic, then you will write a general research questionand a research proposal. Keeping in mind that as you learn more about your topic, your research questions will change. Stage 1 Topic Selection
