Keywords and Topic Words

After stating your topic idea as a question, you need to identify the main concepts or keywords in your question. List also any keywords or concepts that clarify or define your topic.

Keywords: bilingual education, bilingualism, United States, support, finance, vouchers, demographics, languages, immigrants, more

 

Remember!

The keys to any research project are:

  • Develop a clear picture of your topic.
  • List what questions need to be asked and answered for thorough discussion of your topic?
  • Think critically about all information – become a discerning consumer of information!
  • Be organized!
  • Give yourself enough TIME to complete your assignment or research paper! Don’t wait until the last minute to begin.
