Choose five topics that you think are potential research topics for your paper and briefly (in 4 to 5 sentences) explain why these topics are of interest to you. Read the overviews provided for each of the topics you select.

In order that you read each of the overviews carefully, you are to answer the following questions about each overview:

  • What is the topic you are reading about?
  • What is the source citation? Just copy and paste it from the bottom onto your blog. DO NOT COPY THE URL!
  • Summarize the central idea of the overview in one or two sentences IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
  • List two to four specific details that support the central idea IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
  • Create an opportunity for further research by writing down two questions the text raises about the central idea (explicitly or implicitly). Explicit means stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt, while implicit means implied though not plainly expressed.
  • Write down one word or phrase whose meaning you do not fully understand.
  • Next, write down what may be preventing you from understanding it (is it an unrecognizable term? an unfamiliar person, place, or allusion?)
  • Use a third party resource (dictionary, thesaurus, Google search) to find its definition or meaning. Write it down.
  • Write one question about the overview that you can pose to your peers in a discussion.

2. Suicide is a real problem in the united states, the people that kill themselves often have no real reason. If they are not accepted in their school or they are having troubles at home, they result to kill ing themselves. In the article it states that 1/1000 kids will attempt to commit suicide in the United states. in 2008 150 kids over the united states committed suicide.
