PLANNING YOUR RESEARCH

Students will be able to: 

• brainstorm and decide on a topic for inquiry
• develop key questions for research

"Asking questions is a very good way to find out about something."   - Kermit the Frog   Questions are powerful research tools because they encourage a search for answers, even if the answers are hard to find, or may be controversial.    Questions help you decide if the information you find will be useful.   Open-ended questions, e.g., "how" and "why" questions, encourage deeper research and thinking.
