a) My Key word/topic is Animal Testing(Animal Experimentation)
b) I am interested in Animal Testing because I do not know anything about it though every single products such as medicine or cosmetics I use have undergone animal testing.
c) Possible Research question
Why is Animal Testing needed? What is the problem that makes many people opposed to Animal Testing? What should be done to improve treatment toward the animals?(What is the ideal style of Animal Testing?)

Hi Kana,
返信削除Excellent topic, initial research question and list of possible sources!
In particular, the question "What should be done to improve treatment toward the animals?" is good. Still a little general, but a good start. Perhaps focus on a particular type of animal testing...in pharmaceuticals or some industry?
Good luck with getting more sources and developing your outline and intro!
