Chapter 2 went over how research your topic, like different places you can find information and how to expand off of each source. Then how to gather information from that source to get a general overview of what the article or notes are saying. Afterwards, once you get enough on your topic you want to narrow your topic into an issue that is derived from your main topic so you can focus more into a more specific area of interest. At the end of the chapter it came down to how you can focus on your specified topics issue. You want to figure out if the readers will have any interest in your issue, or if they need to learn about it.
