3. Learning Target: I can generate additional related, focused questions for further research.
New Standard ELAGSE7W7: Conduct short research projects to answer a question, drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions for further research and investigation. Review Standard ELAGSE7W8: Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, using search terms effectively; assess the credibility and accuracy of each source; and quote or paraphrase the data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation.

4. How do I write a good research question?
Write open-ended questions.
That means they can’t be answered with a simple "yes" or "no.“
Start your questions with words like "how," "what," or "why." They'll prompt your source to give more detailed answers.
Ask your person to explain or describe.

5. How do I write a good research question?

Tell me more about the time when...

Describe the first time you...
Tell me about the person who taught you about...
What stands out for you when you remember...

7. Revise these Questions
There’s a problem with each of these interview questions. Identify the problem, then write an improved version of the question. Q: Do you feel that exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle? Instead ask: How do you feel exercise affects a healthy lifestyle? Q: Did you like school? Instead ask: What did you like most and least about school? Q: How many kids do you have? Instead ask: Describe your children.
