Expository Essay Topic

COM150 CheckPoint: Expository Essay Topic

Before you begin the writing process, you must select a topic that is interesting to you and your readers. Inexperienced writers sometimes make the mistake of attempting to write about a topic that is too broad. You may want to start by doing some preliminary reading about your topic and then determining how you want to approach the subject. Ask yourself the following questions: Which aspect of this topic is most interesting to me? What do I want to know more about? Chances are your readers will feel the same way.

The Topic I chose:

The plight of the honeybee is an interesting topic to me.  There are some that believe the honeybee is becoming endangered and even more to the point is that somehow that the extinction of the honeybee could have drastic consequences on the human race.  I would love to explore the consequences of honeybee endangerment and/or extinction.  It is definitely a topic that interests me and this assignment offers me the opportunity to do the research I have wanted to do but have not found time to do.   I am not sure that researching the consequences is such a broad subject as to require narrowing.  I would like to do my final project on this subject, if you find this topic acceptable.
