Interest Inventory


     In this assignment taken from The Curious Reader by Bruce Ballenger we are suppose to make an interest inventory. Now you may ask what is an interests inventory? An interests inventory is designed to help you pick a topic to write a paper on. An interest inventory is made up of ten categories and under each category you write as many words as you can that come to your head. After you have done all ten categories you go through and find a subject that interests you and one that would give you enough to write a paper on. After you have selected a topic that interest you, you write as many question that you can on that topic.

  1. Kendrick, you're asking some pointed questions about missions with which you could easily sustain a five week research project. In particular, your questions underscore the importance of coming to a topic without assumptions.
