Narrowing Your Topics

I think the activity in class was great. I had done a web design kind of like that before but instead of using topics it was catagories of topics to write about. I felt it brought the topics that you are thinking about writing into a mangaeable number of ideas and kept you focused on what the importance of what you are writing is. The big thing that it did for me is, that it took my big overall idea and broke them down into more focused and concentrated groups, because when i can choose what I want to write about my mind is a blur of ideas and thoughts so i hope this strategy will help, but if not, oh well. I still need some time to think about a topic for my paper because I still have way to many ideas in my head and they all see to be a bust because none of them are plausibly true or could come close to happening.

  1. Go ahead and post on the ideas that are in your head though. You need to start narrowing, and sometimes writing will help you do that.

  2. Yes, I'd definitely recommend starting to write your ideas down or make a concept map like we did in class. It can seem really overwhelming, but once you've got in on paper, it's usually easier to narrow things down and figure out what will work.
