Key Concept
What do you want to know about your topic? What made the topic interesting to you? What information do you need to explain the topic thoroughly? Before you begin any research, you should determine exactly what you need to know.
All research starts with a question, but all questions do not lead to research. Research is about finding the best answers to questions that really matter. You narrowed your topic to make sure you can write an effective expository essay. Writing a few effective research questions keeps you focused while you research the topic.
Did you know you can ask many different types of questions? The types of questions you ask depends on the kinds of answers you need. An interesting topic usually requires more than one type of information to understand. That means you will need to ask more than one type of question.
