Re: [LM_NET] SEC: Research topic for 12th English

["Dr. Michael Bell" <drmichaelbell@VIRTUALLRC.COM>]

Dear Teresa,

The 2009-2010 national high school debate topic is :

Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially
increase social services for
persons living in poverty in the United States.
--2009-2010 CX Debate Topic

If you go to http://www.virtuallrc.com and search for the term 'poverty'
in the Social Sciences section, you will get over 50 hits from websites
previously selected by teachers and librarians.

Another good resource for topic ideas would be the Virtual LRC social
issues page :

http://www.virtuallrc.com/social_issues.html

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
