To be ready for college, workforce training, and life in a technological society, students need the ability to gather,
comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and report on information and ideas, to conduct original research in order to answer
questions or solve problems, and to analyze and create a high volume and extensive range of print and nonprint texts in media
forms old and new. The need to conduct research and to produce and consume media is embedded into every aspect of
today’s curriculum.

Think in Questions
Ask as many questions as you can.
Do not stop to discuss, judge, or answer any of the questions.
Write down every question exactly as it was stated.
Change any statements into questions.

Questioning Activity
Step 1: Brainstorm 10 or more ques.ons about your topic on 3x5 notecards – one ques.on per card.
Step 2: Sort the notecards into categories.
Step 3: Create a name that describes each category that would make a good focus area (not too big or too small).
Step 4: Choose your two favorite categories and turn them into research ques.ons
