Pick one card from the green Population deck and one card from the purple Object deck. See if you can create a researchable question that ties these two cards together. Keep this checklist in mind:
- Is it an open-ended question?
- Is it appropriate in scope? Focused and narrow enough for your project or paper?
- Does it suggest factors that can be measured?
- Is it relevant to my audience?
- Is answering the question manageable, and can I find and access enough documents, statistics, or persons to provide information to develop and support my ideas?
- Is the topic of interest to me?
Each group should come up with three questions and add them to the Padlet:
Need some more ideas? Think about how you start the question:
- Who - Questions looking into what populations were involved.
- What - Questions looking into the details of the object or event.
- When - Questions concerning the timeline of the interactions between the population and objects.
- Where - Questions focusing on the location of the interactions between the populations and objects.
- Why - Questions exploring the reasons behind the interaction between the population and objects.
- How - Questions following the steps that lead to the interaction between the population and objects.
