Remove any of the topics that won't work. * Does it interest you? This is going to be a long paper so make sure that you enjoy it. If the topic seems boring take it off the list. * Can the topic support a paper? Hopefully we are down to around 10 ideas. Now it is time to do a little bit of background research to make sure that there is enough written about the topic already to do pull from. If it looks like it is going to be difficult task finding information on the topic, scratch it. * Do we have a perspective? You will need more than a topic; you need a point to prove. Look through your ideas and write down your viewpoint on each of them. Are you trying to prove, to disprove? If there really is no purpose to writing on a topic other than reporting, ditch it. * What is the Best? We have a few topics left and now it really is up to you and your personal preferences. Pick the best three topics you have and write a mock thesis statement for each of them. You now have three potential papers. * Consult with the grade giver. Go back to your professor. Bring your three topics and thesis statements and ask the professor his thoughts. If you have done a good job he will probably say yes to all three, but it is good to ask anyway. * Your final choice? You have done the work, prepared well, so now make your choice from the three.
