Capstone Post #2: Choosing a Main Inquiry Question and Choosing Sub Questions

Now that I have chosen my topic, Future Transportation, I knew I would have to come up with a Main Inquiry Question.  A Main Inquiry Question is basically the big question you’re focusing on for Capstone. BUT, you’ll also need some Sub Inquiry Questions. That’s basically the same thing as the other one I kept talking about, but you don’t focus on it as much.  However, you cannot make your Inquiry Questions something easy to answer or something you can just search up. For instance, “What is future transportation?” can’t be an inquiry question because you can just look it up, and you should know what transportation is anyway.  If you don’t, that’s just sad.

My Main Inquiry Question is ‘What are the kinds of future transportation being explored and what impacts will they have on society?’ For this, I will explain a few vehicles, well, being explored or looked at and how it will change society.

I also have five Sub Questions. The first one is “What kinds of future transportation will people use?”                          My second Sub Question is “What are the pros of future transportation?” and my third is “What are the cons of future transportation?”.  My fourth is “What technology will be used in these new inventions?” and my fifth is “How is future transportation impacting the environment?”.  I’m so excited to research further!

    Maya, you chose a very interesting topic to research and I’m excited to see what your final product will be! Next time, consider discussing a bit more about your process (what was easy, difficult, etc. for you).
