Answer:
Identify and develop your topic
Explanation:
The first step to take when researching a subject is to decide the topic that you will research. It is important to identify and develop your topic, as this will allow you to guide your research, and to know which sources might be useful for the project. Moreover, when your topic is identified, you will be able to develop your main ideas as well as the questions that your reserach will try to answer.
The first step in the research process is defining the topic or question.
The first step in the research process is to define the topic or question that you want to investigate. This involves selecting a specific area of interest and formulating a clear and focused research question.
For example, if you were researching the effects of pollution on the environment, your research question could be 'What are the long-term effects of pollution on local water sources?' By defining your topic and research question, you provide a framework for your research and guide your subsequent steps.

How Things Work
By Gary Soto
Today it's going to cost us twenty dollars
To live. Five for a softball. Four for a book,
A handful of ones for coffee and two sweet rolls,
Bus fare, rosin for your mother's violin.
We're completing our task. The tip I left
For the waitress filters down
Like rain, wetting the new roots of a child
Perhaps, a belligerent cat that won't let go
Of a balled sock until there's chicken to eat.
As far as I can tell, daughter, it works like this:
You buy bread from a grocery, a bag of apples
From a fruit stand, and what coins
Are passed on helps others buy pencils, glue,
Tickets to a movie in which laughter
Is thrown into their faces.
If we buy goldfish, someone tries on a hat.
If we buy crayons, someone walks home with a broom.
A tip. a small purchase here and there,
And things just keep going. I guess.
