Possible Research Topics-Assignment 2

I honestly have no idea what I'm going to do my paper on. I have a whole list of topics in front of me, but none of them really, really spark my attention. The one right now that does is my major-English, and reading, my favorite hobby. If I could somehow do something with that, it would be an interesting paper. I love stuff like that, but in this case I'm just not sure yet how to turn that into a research paper. The other one that interests me somewhat is one of the topics listed under my "problems" section of topics-low teacher pay in South Dakota. That's a serious problem and something that concerns me and my future very much, but that topic may be too general and there may be too much info out there about it; I'm not sure how interesting I could make it. It would be a good topic though, if it wasn't too overdone. It's not something terrribly overdone, like abortion or eating disorders or a sport, so maybe it would work. I could definitely stay interested in it. This is a huge issue right now in this state, especially in small schools like the one I attended where they're having a hard time staying open and drawing new students and teachers, let alone raising teacher's pay rates to attract the best teachers. I could go back and interview my superintendent; he would be a great resource. I could do school funding in general and incorporate teacher salaries into that.
