After choosing to topic I had to choose my main inquiry question and six sub questions.
First I had to choose my main inquiry question. That was a big process. I had two questions in mind then I choose my favorite one. That was all at home. Then at school we got two sheets of paper. Both papers were for the main inquiry question. So I did one so I started my sub questions. But while I was working on my sub questions, that was when I knew what my main inquiry question was supposed to be. It is “how are cocoa beans produced, how does the production affect the taste of chocolate, and what are the health benefits of chocolate?” That is my main inquiry question and I am so proud of it.
After that I had to do my sub questions. The sub questions were the hardest because there are so many of them. Like I said I did my sub questions while I did my main inquiry question. For the sub questions, I knew I wanted to do, where do cocoa beans grow. Then I wanted to do one more about cocoa beans. I needed to think over it a few times and then I chose, how are cocoa beans harvested. Then I wanted to do two health benefit questions. These questions weren’t hard for me to think about. I chose, does the cocoa bean itself have any health benefits, then I chose for my second one about health benefits, what are the health benefits of milk and dark chocolate individually. Then finally, since I also mentioned taste in my main inquiry question, I did my last two about taste. Those were the hardest ones. They were hard because I needed to think about what I didn’t know. I finally chose, what impact does chocolate percentage have on the flavor, then for my final one I chose after a long process of hard thinking and many, many iterations I decided to go with, what affects on the flavor of chocolate does the production of chocolate have.

I am really proud of myself, and all of my questions. I feel confident in them and I am sure that this will be a great project, with great questions.
