Lily’s assignment is broad enough to give her some choices when picking a topic. First she needs to understand the term “popular culture.” She finds that we might study popular media to learn about popular culture. Clearly, this is a broad topic!
So, what makes a good topic?
- It interests you! You'll enjoy it and do a better job.
- It meets the requirements of your assignment.
- It’s broad enough to give you several search options.
- It’s focused enough that you’re not overwhelmed with information.
