Chapter 3 of the Bedford Researcher builds on the first two chapters (and the several others our class has skipped ahead to), describing how to Develop Your Research Question and Proposal. The chapter asks two questions, "How can I develop my research question", and, "How can I create a research proposal"? These two questions are answered in their own ways, starting with the first questions steps: step one, "Reflect on your writing situation", which considers what you know so far, step two, "Generate potential research questions", which has a list of variables to influence the possibilities of questions to be made, step three, "Craft questions that reflect your writing situation", made up of the five "w"'s, and step four, "Select and rewrite your research question". The second question is then answered through writing, verbal descriptions of the format to follow, then the chapter ends with a labeled-example proposal.
This information will soon be utilized as I wrap up my source search and find all the information on my topic to form an important and interesting question. Once I know what to ask, I'll know how to ask it through the exampled proposal provided in the end of the chapter. Basically, this is preparing me for the upcoming assignment a couple weeks from now.
