Some students wonder about choosing the best topic for an essay. They wonder if there are any topics you shouldn't choose one. This is an interesting question to consider. In some cases, there may be topics you should consider avoiding. In others, it can show more thought and passion to select a unique topic. Every student understands that your essay topic is important. This is part of your grade. Teachers grade in different ways, but most will consider this between ten to thirty percent of your essay's overall grade.
There are some "hot button" essay topics that should be handled carefully. Topics like religion, abortion rights and politics are all "hot button" topics. Now perhaps you were specifically assigned one of these topics in school. Then of course you must write about it. If you are given your choice to write about a current event and you purposefully select a "hot button" topic then you must do so carefully. The topics are considered so because most people get quite emotional about them.
An essay works only when you are rational and state the facts. This means leaving your opinion outside of the paper. A "hot button" essay can still be an excellent topic and can impress your teacher as long as you can handle it with care. Only write about a topic if you can do so rationally and with respect to the other side of the issue.
The best topics are those that interest you. When a student has a genuine curiosity in the subject, their research time seems to fly and their paper flows easily. But when they select an essay topic simply to get the assignment done this can be quite difficult. Now sometimes you have little choice. Sometimes the assignment choice is so narrow you must choose something that interests you little. Try to find something, anything about the research or writing that does interest you. We promise that this genuine interest will make a great difference in the quality of the essay you create and the grade that you will receive.
Sometimes you have to write on a subject you don't enjoy or actually makes you uncomfortable. You may have to write about something disturbing from history like a war or the Holocaust. Or if you are squeamish you may have to write about a biology or medical topic. Remind yourself that this is only one assignment during the term and it will soon be over. Do your best to find something about the research and writing that is interesting. There may be a way to learn something through this essay that helps you overall with this class you are taking. This one essay may help introduce you to something about that period of history or science or other topics you may have had trouble understanding.
Try to look at this as an opportunity for independent study.
