Pick a topic that you are interested in learning about, preferably one that is controversial.
1) First, google it to find out the important facts about the topic. For example, if you choose gun control, what are the number of people killed and injured by guns in their home? How many lives are saved by having a gun?
List the website address (urls) where you got your information.
2) Write a brief two page summary of the information.
