 * Writing a Research Question

Make a concept map—a cmap.**
 * Choose one factor on which to focus your research**


 * Example:**


 * STEP 1 - Identify the possible causes for X.**


 * STEP 2 - Determine what is already known.**


 * STEP 3 - Define or clarify any unknown or vague terms.**


 * STEP 4 - Determine how that cause could create the problem. (i.e., does Y cause X to occur?)**


 * STEP 5: - Write a working hypothesis that combines one possible cause with one way it could create the problem.**


 * STEP 6: - Write a research question that will support or not support your hypothesis.**
