GENERATING A RESEARCH QUESTION...

Hey Kiddies!!

      GREAT INQUIRYstarts with a RESEARCH QUESTION.  A research question leads to more questions.  What you will be trying to do today is create a "line or questioning".  It's kind of like those cop shows on T.V. when they ask the criminals and witnesses a line of questioning.

Yours Truly,

P.S. WHAT YOU ARE USING TODAY IS YOUR PRIMARY SOURCE.  You will later find other sources to collect more information.
