| Developing Research Questions | |
| Description: | Questions drive a lot of what we do every day. Sometimes, they’re simple. At other times, our experiences lead us to ask more complicated questions that can’t be answered so easily and require in-depth research. This video gets student to begin to think about developing and exploring these more complex questions in a world where facts and quick “answers” are just a click away. |

Students will most likely be performing multiple searches to understand the issue, define its context, and propose a solution. Because most research tasks are complex, they require more than one search strategy. Additionally, such tasks require students to organize and synthesize the results of those searchers into one cohesive document.

Description: |
Research requires students perform multiple searches to understand the issue, define its context, and propose a solution. This worksheet will require students to consider a specific research topic (or may use their own research topic) and go through a series of steps (compose research strategy, read and evaluate articles, organize and create claims to support subtopic, and repeat each of the three steps) in order to research several different kinds of information and synthesize them into one document. |
