Finding Good Exploratory Essay Topics

Finding Good Exploratory Essay TopicsWhat can you do with a good exploratory essay topic for a high school senior? I'm talking about ideas and concepts that are not so familiar but could be useful for students.Good exploratory essay topics are not usually available from the students' school library. They usually come from a college professor. But you can find them on the Internet or in your local paper.It can be tempting to look for essays in your student's home library, because they may be more complete and may have more specific information. But there is a big difference between a high school senior's home library and a college student's home library. Most of the college students have their own library and it is usually filled with students' books and not of interest to the writer of an essay.In my experience, writing an essay is like going for a walk, where you will want to stay alert and not just stop and catch some fleeting glimpse of some new ideas that you've been eyeing. You don't want to be merely nibbling away at the ideas without being much of a writer, but rather have some ideas and then moving on to the next idea, and then the next idea, and on.Good exploratory essay topics, if found, will give you some ideas of what to write and how to write it, so that you will be able to move on to the next idea. So you will have one idea only, instead of having several thoughts running around in your head.I can sometimes sit in a classroom with a bunch of students who have a lot of word ideas and ask each of them for something that they think might work as an essay topic. Some will immediately get up and ask for a topic and some will actually come up with a good idea.A couple of good exploratory essay topics will help a lot in getting students ready for college. And you can use them for both or just one of your essays. Just remember that it can be hard to grab good ideas for your essays so make sure that you do your homework and that you find those good topics before heading off to class.
