Mat-Su College: Writing

A guide for students taking Writing, particularly Writing 111, at Mat-Su College.

Intro

We have several tools that list topics, and collect sources on those topics:

Starting with CQ Researcher

CQ Researcher makes comprehensive reports on many controversial topics.

You can move around the CQ Researcher website by clicking "Browse CQR," then picking a topic from a list:

You can also use the search box at the top.

Points of View Reference Center

Points of View Reference Center covers controversial subjects.

In it, you will see a search bar and a list of controversial subjects grouped by category. Just glancing at this list can help you pick a topic. For example, in the screenshot below I see "drilling in the Arctic" as a topic:
