Topic Statement Samples for Final Research Report
Introduction & Purpose:
– The first step in working on the Final Research Report is finding a topic and developing an appropriate topic
–
statement that is “right-sized” in its scope and includes both ONE problem and ONE solution.
Below you will find a list of topics used by students in previous years.
Read each topic and notice how each topic statement includes both ONE problem and ONE solution
Instructions: As you read each topic statement below, underline the problem and circle the solution
Some of these statements could also be improved further by stating the topic more narrowly and clearly
