Now that we have picked our topic, it is time to pick an inquiry question and sub questions. For Capstone, you need to have a question about your topic that you will be studying. Since my topic is sneakers, I had to choose a specific type of sneaker for my question. I chose basketball sneakers because they were the ones I wanted to focus on and I almost even just made it my topic.

For coming up with a question, I thought it was going to be really hard because if it was too specific, it wouldn’t be fun to research, but if it was too broad, there would be too much to research. Knowing this, I wanted to focus on the evolution of basketball sneakers and the effect they have on basketball. I chose these two things because they are not too broad and things I wanted to study. I would also be able to fit in how they are made because I can show how they were made back then and how they are made today.

For my sub questions, I tried to change some of my inquiry questions and make them more of a sub question so I would have some sub questions right away. The problem I was having with this technique however, was that the inquiry questions I was turning into sub questions had to be related or similar to my main inquiry question. When I wasn’t using that technique, I was thinking of types of sneaker topics that I could word differently to make it an acceptable sub question for my big question.

In conclusion, I think that my sub questions will really help guide my inquiry question and will be fun to research.
