  1. The Big 6 Effective Research

  2. Step One: Task Definition • 1.1 Define the problem • 1.2 Identify the information needed

  3. 1.1: Define the problem • Assigned prompt (ex: Compare/contrast Sold with the documentary Very Young Girls about trafficking in NYC—trafficking in Nepal vs. USA) • Assigned topic (ex: write 3 pages on Sold) • Self-generated problem (ex: write a 5-page persuasive paper)

  4. Step 1: Essential Question(s) • EQ: A self-generated, broad question that your research/analysis paper will answer • Cannot open a book and just “find” the answer to it • Begins with “how” or “why”

  5. Example 1 • Topic: fad diets • EQ: How does the popularity of fad diets reflect American values? OR • EQ: Why are fad diets so prominent throughout American culture?

  6. Step 2: Supporting Questions • SQs- Unlike the EQ, you will have multiple of these (at least 2-3 for shorter papers) • Can be answered by opening a book • “What” • “Where” • “When” • “Who”

  7. Example 1 • Topic: fad diets • EQ: How does the popularity of fad diets reflect American values? • SQ1: What is a “fad diet”? • SQ2: What groups of people usually try fad diets? • SQ3: Who are the spokespeople for fad diets? • SQ4: What are statistics of obesity in the US?
