    What is your Inquiry Question? (Turn the above statement into a


    researchable inquiry question.)

    Does the question/topic meet the following checkpoints?


    ___1. Topic is within guidelines and requirements of the assignment
    ___2. Topic is not too broad or too narrow

    ___3. Topic is relevant to reader, current time and situation

    -debatable, important, controversial

    ___4. Topic is interesting to you

    ___5. Topic is something you vaguely know about

    -writing about something you are not familiar with can lead to a unique
    perspective to the topic and lead to discovery of new information which
    is the point of research.

    ___6. Topic is not common-a simple common topic can lead to plagiarism, the
    topic should involve critical thinking on the writer's part.
