So for our capstone project this week we have be finding our main inquiry question and sub questions. The inquiry question is a main question you want to focus on for the whole project. The sub questions are smaller questions that help answer your main question.

Before we made our sub questions we had to make the main inquiry question. I had a pretty broad topic like ‘crime’ but I had to think of a part of crime that interested me. But it had to be a broad enough question to have some smaller questions inside of the bigger question. I had a really hard time coming up with a question. So when I finally did come up with the question I was really proud. My question was, “What are the techniques used by detectives and criminologists and how have they evolved over time?”

Once I finished with the main question it was time to start my sub questions! Making the sub questions was a lot easier because when we were doing the paper to determine the topic, I was writing down a bunch of questions. But I only used one or two. Me and another teacher came up with the rest. When we were all done with the sub questions, we started to ‘research’. Well, not really research, we weren’t writing anything down. We were just trying to find good websites that we could trust, and get a feel of our topic. It felt like there was literally no good websites for my topic. There was only about three websites that looked like I could trust.

I really feel that this week was a lot easier than last week.
