All historical research begins with asking good questions, and who asks the
questions matters. It is also important to ask how history is represented,
whether in textbooks and media reports or by governments and independent
organizations. Developing historical inquiry skills will help you ask critical
questions about headlines you see or claims you hear. In this activity, you will
take the first step toward developing those skills by writing a research question
about your chosen historical topic.
Keep in mind that you cannot change your topic after this module. Please
remember to review and keep all instructor feedback. Each module activity will
prepare you for an aspect of your final project, and you will have a future
opportunity to improve your work.
