I suggest reading basic computer books, like the "for dummies" series. Also go online and research certain topics, and make printed paper copies of it. I think it will annoy the teacher, if you did that.
Maybe, give her the dummies book..... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
