Material Detail

This worksheet guides students through the early stages of the research process by helping them narrow a broad topic into a focused research question. Using prompts related to time, place, population, and perspective, students critically explore different angles of their topic before synthesizing their ideas into a researchable question. The activity supports topic development, critical thinking, and preparation for academic research essays in first-year composition and writing-intensive courses.
