Decide on at least three points of interest within your topic that you would like to explore. What are the issues that have particularly caught your attention? Are there articles or other resources that support your stance on the topic? What might you use to illustrate your opinions and explain your topic to a reader?
Once you have identified the three points, start collecting evidence to support them. Are there quotes that will express what you want? Maybe there are statistics that back you up. Perhaps, your point will be supported best by relating a personal story or observation of your own. Please make sure that you have collected some example to support each point you make.
Be ready with this research for the 5-paragraph workshop on Friday!
