Research Question Revision
Step 1: Sub Groups You need to decide now if you want to stay in your sub-group, or if you want to move to a different sub-group. After today you will be locked in, so if you want to switch, do it now. MOVE INTO GROUPS- should sit in these groups all week. Step 2: Precise Research Questions Our next step is to revise your research question to make it more precise (notice how this is similar to what you’re doing with your thesis?). Using the same principles of last Wednesday, make your research question more precise.
Once you think you’ve got it, show it to the other members of your group, and get their feedback. Revise as needed. Step 3: Precise Research Questions- Correlations Now we need to identify a specific correlation that would be useful in helping you answer your research question. Remember, a correlation is trying to find a relationship between two variables. Identify the correlation, the two variables, and why this would be useful in helping to answer your question. Step 4: Overarching Group Question In your group, you all need to figure out what is the overarching question that your group is trying to answer with ALL of your sub-questions. This question can be a little broader and more general than your individual questions. Database Compilation Introduction and Work Time For this, you will be working to compile an annotated list of resources that will be very useful in the next phase of this assignment. Again, this is somewhat similar (though shorter) than a task you will have to do for your senior thesis. DUE DATES- ON TIME

Sub Topics
Sub Topic Idea Fishing To mirror the senior thesis process, we will first engage in some preliminary research- this will let you see if this is really the sub topic you want to lock yourself into, or if you want to change topics next week before we start really researching. You should have a sub-topic chosen, and a specific question you are trying to answer. Work Priorities:

Research Question Workshop
Give this presentation. Then have students write 2-3 refined versions of their research questions. They can use these in conferences with us this week and next. Over the next two weeks we want to conference with everyone about their research questions. Interview Guidelines:
Interview Question Guide Let’s review this document for further guidance writing questions, and brainstorm some questions. Research, Phase 2 See this document for where to put your research question revisions, interview notes, and further research. To Do Through 4th Period:
