I imagined I would have a topic for this class by now. However, I know absolutely nothing about communities centered around one thing. I have no idea what to pick for a topic and am having the hardest time with this topic. This isn't really around my area of interests so I'm trying to search for something based around a war (civil or revolutionary) because those are my primary history topics of interest, but I'm worried I'm not going to find a topic with a lot of information I can research about.
Speaking of research, I was actually impressed with Craft of Research. It actually kept me interested and I read the whole assignment, and that's impressive. I think I actually will be able to research better now. So, at least that part I'm confident about...
Now I just need to find a topic.
Hi Laura-
ReplyDeleteHave a look at my comments to Emily H's blog post for today. She's having similar troubles and I gave her a short list of topic ideas. It would be very helpful for you to contact me as well so we can sit down and discuss possible topics. I have an interest in Civil War history as well, so we can probably sit down together and figure something out. Textiles, shipping/port cities, railroads are some that come to mind for this time period, but it would be cool if you could integrate information about the War into a topic.
