If the research is open ended (i.e. not curriculum related), why not let
the kids generate their own topics based on their interests? They may be
more motivated and excited to do the research if its something they are
particularly interested in. Plus, then it is not just doing research for
the sake of research but meeting their personal information needs, one of
the Information Power standards.
