Research Questions Activity

This activity is worth 30 points and has three parts:

  1. After reading the lesson, spend some time considering potential research questions and come up with three preliminary questions you’d like to explore further. For each question, make sure to do your best to edit out vague words and other elements that might affect the scope.
  2. Under each question, write 2-3 sentences of self-assessment, focusing on the following:
    1. Why does the question interest you?
    2. Do you think you will be able to find enough information to research this well? Why or why not?
  3. Write a few sentences that explain how you rank the questions based on your self-assessment. This will give your instructor some sense of your topic preference.

Your instructor will add his/her own concerns and comments to help you refine your questions. Your work is worth30 points and will be graded on the following rubric:
