What are some interesting research paper topics for an 8th grader?
Ask a question to yourself and then try to find the answer and research it
Reply:This is a difficult question to answer although starting with your three areas of interest is helpful. A next step could be to explore a specific context such as:Golf, the history of minority involvement in the game, etc., (you see where this is going)





My only advice as to exploring the specific context of the question is to focus again on your interests or more importantly, focus on an area that has spoken to you in the past, draw on some personal experience that made you curious, interested, happy, joyful, sad.





The reason for my answer is my own experience in trying to develope a topic for a research paper as a Freshman in college 20 years ago. I love world history and events and wasn't sure what to focus on. I then remembered how a friend of mine reacted to the news that Indira Ghandi, (the longtime President of India) was assissinated. When I heard the news I was just thinking, wow that's going to be trouble, but when I met him it was the same experience as when JFK had been assissinated, he was visibly upset. This realization was the key because his reaction spoke to me and I then knew I my topic.





I hope this helps.

Reply:...god its good to be back....anyways back to your question.





well you could always research your favorite breed of dog. my personal favorite is the rottweiler. you could pick an electronic device and research the history of it. golf...im not too keen on that but you could pick a golfer you like and look at his/her auto/biography and write a paper on them. or foods you like. i love coffee. maybe pick a favorite mythical creature or greek god to study. the greek gods are very interesting to me. anyways have fun with it!!! let me know what you picked and maybe i can help you out alittle!! good luck!!
