The Research Question

As discussed earlier, in order to conduct research you need a question.

Yesterday, I learned that it is possible to learn how to shave, braid hair, curl hair, make grits, and learn how to dye shirts all by watching YouTube videos. Very cool!

But what all those videos had that you didn't have when you watched them was an answer. You are now going to work on creating a question for which you discover an answer. Eventually, you will also discover a way to share that answer.

For now, I want you to ponder the following: Why does a researcher need a question and how is a good question formed? Take a few moments to make notes in your notebook.

Then, you will work on completing the first few boxes of the research plan.
