Imagine that you’re planning to take a trip. You begin by choosing a destination, and then you may consider the following questions: How will I get there? Where will I stay? What do I want to do when I arrive? Conducting research is like planning for a trip. You begin by choosing a topic, so you know where you are headed with your research. Then you consider research questions to narrow the focus of your research to a central idea.

Write two possible research topics that you’re interested in learning more about, and explain why you are interested in these topics. Then write three research questions about each topic.

"i don't know," he said. "did you leave it in your mouth? it's the only place i can think of that's big enough." keyn laughed; something got stuck in his throat half way, and he coughed for breath. "i can see you're good to go,” tablin observed as keyn struggled to clear his throat. “go get your horse yourself before i take the job and leave you to rot in the flowing barrel."
