2. Go to your local public library or visit online. If you go to the library, ask the librarian for help in locating books. He/she may be able to find books and articles on line for you.

3. Once you have picked your topic, you should probably OUTLINE your strategy.

I. Topic

A. Background

1. Issue #1

2. Issue #2 (and so on)

B. Controversy

1. Side A

2. Side B

II. Solutions

A. Solution to Issue #1 (both sides)

B. Solution to Issue #2 (both sides)

III Conclusion

A. Any clear choices? Why or why not?

B. Problems for the future- how to plan to solve them.

I know this looks vague, but it gives you a “map” to go by.

Then, you need to site your sources. That’s why the librarian comes in handy. What format are you using? ALA? Turabian? Ask for a guide book on how to site books, articles, and information online.

Good luck.
