For example:
“Norman…while watching news reports of the Iraq
War, noticed dry and barren land, yet history had
taught him that this land between the Tigress and
the Euphrates rivers was formerly a land of fruit and
honey….What happened to it?
Norman’s interest = water - or - the world’s water
supply
Excerpted from Lester and Lester. Writing Research Papers. Page 10

Browsing in National Geographic or online Norman finds an
article
He learns from the article above:
Satellite technology shows:
Over the last 40 years
30 + large dams have been built
Reduce available water
Eliminate nourishing floodwaters
Resulting in damage to the marshlands and
devastation to wildlife
And reducing the water supply to the residents
This ancient land is not what is once was!

He also learns that:
1. Before satellites it was up to individual countries whether
or not to assess and report environmental damage
2.With Satellite technology now all nations can see what is
going on
3. “Everyone has a clearer and more accessible picture on
environmental damage.
Norman’s questions have multiplied
His topic has expanded to include many
considerations
