Be sure to tell YOUR TEACHER when you have chosen a topic....
No two people with the same native language may have any given topic.
The first to claim it gets it.
SOURCES: Remember, you do not have to find all your sources NOW. However, you should be sure that you can find ENOUGH to write a good paper, and don't choose a topic for which there are TOO MANY SOURCES (for example, "Kinds of Pollution in Tennessee"). In the end you will need a MINIMUM OF FIVE:
