IEP/Research Paper Topics
- The following are some ideas for your research paper:
- chemical components found in food
- food deserts
- food from a cultural perspective (different foods in different countries/cultures; ethnic food festivals; foods served during specific times of the year or for different religious or secular/national holidays)
- weird food in different cultures/geographic locations (think Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods)
- agriculture issues; farming issues
- On which topic did you do your podcast or rhetorical analysis? Research that.
- Consider topics with multiple viewpoints (search for "food" in the search box), and/or topics with multiple perspectives or problems. (In this type of paper, you could research solutions as well.)
