Hello, The important thing is to choose a topic you're interested in. No point writing about medieval pottery if you're into the Iron Age. As for questions: 'To what extent is...' is a good way of starting e.g. 'To what extent were hillforts X and Y built for defence? To what extent can stone circles be considered religious sites?' etc. Finding 5-20 sources won't be as hard as you think. Lot's of good stuff on line. The CBA research reports held by ADS are free to view (google ADS CBA Research Reports) and will be of use. If your 6th form has access to JSTOR you'll have access to lots of archaeological journals in electronic format... and of course your local library. Good luck!
