... there are some that won't work as well.

I advise that students avoid topics about which they have strong emotions or opinions. You have to be objective in this paper, presenting all information equally and neutrally. The topic of abortion, for example, might work if you report on the clinical procedure or on the debate - presenting both sides, but it will not work if a student chooses one side and attempts to convince the reader of his/her opinion.

Hope that helps.
