ENG-122 Generating Keywords

What were important milestones in the evolution of the helicopter?

  • Important- crucial, significant, authoritative
  • Milestone- dates, events, occasion juncture
  • Evolution- history, development, creation
  • Helicopter- chopper

I have generated a list of words that should help the research of my topic go more smoothly. I took the most important words from the above question and found some synonyms I could use in place of those words to maximize the number of sources. I used visual thesaurus to find the synonyms. I also used the technique discussed in class along the Bedford Researcher to help me with the task.

I found Yahoo directory t be very helpful to come up with some good ladder of generalizations. Just go there type in helicopter or aircraft etc. An example for a ladder of generalization would be: (Aircraft-helicopter-history)etc. Just and idea to maybe help you out.
