- Provide them with a topic related to their subject of interest (e.g., climate change, technological
advancements, social issues).

- Instruct each group to use one of the brainstorming techniques to generate as many research topics
as possible within the given time frame.

- Encourage them to write down their ideas on sticky notes or use virtual note-taking tools.

5. Share and Analyze Ideas (5 minutes):

- Bring the groups back together and ask them to share the research topics they generated.

- Facilitate a discussion on the strengths and weaknesses of each topic, considering factors like
relevance, originality, and feasibility.

6. Individual Reflection (5 minutes):

- Ask students to reflect on the group activity and their interests.

- Instruct them to select one or more research topics they find most compelling and suitable for
further exploration.

7. Conclusion (5 minutes):

brainstorming for research topics.

- Encourage students to continue refining their chosen topics and seek guidance from instructors or
peers if needed.

8. Homework Assignment:

- Instruct students to write a brief description of their selected research topic(s) and why they find
them intriguing. This will serve as a starting point for their research projects.

Note: Depending on the complexity of the subject and the depth of exploration desired, this lesson plan
can be adjusted to suit the students' needs and time constraints.
