Sometimes you will find that there is not enough information on a topic to prepare a high quality project of the assigned size. If this happens there are a number of ways that topics can be broadened. Basically, you are reversing what you do when you narrow a topic.

To broaden your topic, ask yourself the following questions:

• Can you broaden your topic to include related subjects?
• Can you broaden your topic by identifying broader terms?
• Can you expand your topic geographically?
• Can you expand your topic chronologically?
• Can you examine a larger problem or multiple concepts or issues?
