5.12 MLK Research QuestionsAfter getting a basic understanding of a person's life, a researcher's next step in any research process is to establish some initial questions for what they are trying to discover. A good research question should accomplish these goals: -Help the researcher know what kinds of information will be helpful -Help the researcher narrow the focus of the project so that it can be accomplished in the given time-period and length requirements -Point to new ideas that the researcher doesn't already know! Read through <a href="https://sites.duke.edu/urgws/files/2...WS-handout.pdf">What Makes a Good Research Question</a>to learn more about research questions and EXAMPLES. In the discussion board below, suggest 2-3 research questions that a researcher could try to discover about the life and times of Martin Luther King. To keep things clean, please post ONE question each time you add to the discussion and add several times. Then, review other classmates posts and "like" any that you think were great research questions and you'd like to know the answer! The post with the most "likes" will become some of our research questions for this unit. Remember, these questions are for RESEARCH. If you were to research your question and do some digging, you should be able to find the answer. Avoid questions to which you can not find an answer -- no speculative questions or discussions with clairvoyants.
