The research and writing assignment in Dr. Rinear's Great Storms in Myth, History, and Literature allows for a great deal of latitude in terms of topic selection.  As you begin invention to select a topic, you might review the various categories of resources listed on this guide and consider these various directions as you select your subject. 

Go to the Research Worksheet available in Google Docs.  After you have completed the worksheet, you will receive a copy so that you can keep track of any sources you find during the library session.

Wikipedia is a great place to brainstorm and think about topics and sources.  You should endeavor to locate and cite the sources used to write Wikipedia entries, rather than cite the encyclopedic entry itself.
