May 19-22: Summative: Evaluating Research Questions

5/19/2020

There is a document that will be dropped to your World History Google Drop Folder for you to complete the summative tasks.
The document is titled: "Summative: Research Questions (Unit 4)".
Please complete all summative work within this document.

Due Dates:
A Blocks: May 21st at end of class.
B Blocks: May 22nd at end of class.

Task #1: Developing Questions for Research

List the initial research topic, primary research question(RQ) and supporting questions (SQs) you developed. You can find these in Schoology, within the Unit 4 folder, in the "Formative: Developing Questions for Research"

Note changes (if any) to your research topic, RQ and/or SQs since you started research.

Task #2: Evaluating Effectiveness of Questions Used in Research

In the 2nd part of this summative you will list the actual supporting questions you chose to use for guiding your research. This includes the question used for analyzing the 3 different perspectives.

You will evaluate each question used and address how it helped you in the research. You can also address any challenges you faced with any particular question(s).

You will then evaluate the overall set of questions and how effective the set was in guiding the research process. Reflect on whether this worked well for you and what changes, if any, you would make if you could do it all over again --or next time you conduct research.

Please note, your evaluation can be done in writing --or-- you can choose to record your evaluation as a video or audio recording using Loom. If you choose to use Loom, please be sure to add the link to your recording within the evaluation section of your summative document.
