Identifying Your Topic
● Word of advice:
○ Do not attempt to connect your 501 topic to 500
in effort to do less work!
○ Focus of 500 assignment is on historical analysis
○ 501 Briefing is NOT historical
● How do I pick a topic?
○ Questions to ask yourself:
■ What is a major ‘hot issue’ in today’s society?
■ Is there an issue of particular importance for
me?
■ Is there something historical that I’d
like to tie into social work?
