Writing+Questions

Standard Reading 2.3: Generate relevant questions about readings on issues that can be researched.

Topic: Immigration

Directions: Students will generate five research questions based on the research topic. The questions should elicit a "yes" or "no" response or the students should have multiple choice options (a. b. c. or d.). Students should ask opinion questions and not personal questions. Example of an opinion question: Does racism still exist? Example of a personal question: Are you a racist?

Example: 1. Should all people be guaranteed the same rights? 2. Does racism still exist? 3. Do you think laws should be broken if they are wrong or unfair? 4. If a person is fighting for freedom, is it acceptable to resort to violence? 5. If a person is being mistreated, should other people stand up for that person?

Once students generate the questions, they will survey 30 people. There is a survey template linked to the wiki.
