| If Needed, Narrow
or Broaden Your Topic Often finding too much
or too little information may mean you have to narrow or broaden your topic. |
|
If you need to narrow your topic, try adding
concrete or specific terms to your questions. For example, instead of asking, "What
are the laws on drinking and driving? ask
- "What are California 's
laws on drinking and driving?"
|
Or, instead of asking, "What are the
statistics on drinking and driving?"
- "What are the statistics on
teenage drinking and driving?"
|
| (Once you've formulated a new question, you
will have to repeat the process of picking out the significant terms and making a list of
synonyms and related terms.) |
