Research Paper

So far, formulating and narrowing down a good research question has been a tough task. With my topic there are so many possibilities that could be argued for/against overfishing. I’ve never had to write a research paper where I think of my own research question before so I’m kind of drawing a blank. I’m having trouble as to if I should talk about the Ocean as a whole, or just part of it like the gulf for instance.

I think researching and learning about overfishing will be the most enjoyable part of this research paper. I love to fish and have been almost every weekend since I was four years old. So just learning about fishing in general is very interesting to me and I could never get bored of fishing; so arguing for my cause won’t be a drag.

Sharing my research with the class I think was very helpful. It showed me that my research question was too broad and not clear enough. The class gave good suggestions about how to change/improve the research question and they gave many good ideas on points I can argue with.
