The Curious Researcher Chapter 1 2/28/12

From reading chapter 1 of The Curious Researcher, I learned effective ways to narrow my topic of research, this will help me a lot with writing Paper #3. Before reading this chapter, I was still struggling with finding a good topic to focus on for my paper, but after reading and learning how to ask questions to myself about my topic to narrow my search, I think I have found a good topic to research. In the chapter, the author has an exercise that the reader can do to try and narrow their broad topic of interest. As I was reading I did this exercise with my topic of interest and was able to come up with a specific question that I will be able to research for the next five weeks.
