2. Researching Your Topic

The next step is to conduct some research on your topic.  You'll need to research:

• What happened?  This should include who was involved, when it happened, what events took place, and anything else your audience will need to know in order to understand the topic.
• Why was this topic important?
• How did this topic affect people?
• What was the cause?
• How is our world different today because of this?
