Overview
All historical research begins with asking good questions, and
who asks the questions matters. It is also important to
ask
how history is represented, whether in textbooks and
media reports or by governments and independent organizations.
Developing historical inquiry skills will help you ask critical
questions about headlines you see or claims you hear. In this
activity, you will take the first step toward developing those

7. skills by writing a research question about your chosen
historical topic.
Keep in mind that you cannot change your topic after this
module. Please remember to review and keep all instructor
feedback. Each module activity will prepare you for an aspect
of your final project, and you will have a future opportunity to
improve your work.
Prompt
In this activity, you will make your final topic selection and
write a research question that is clear, relevant, and focused.
Your research question will evolve as you progress through the
course, so what you write now is not final. You will then
attempt to look at your historical topic from a different person’s
perspective. Use the provided
HIS 100 Module Two Activity Research Question
Template Word Document to complete this assignment.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
· Write a
clear, relevant, and focused research question about the
topic you have selected.
· Refer to the module overview and resources for helpful
information about writing effective research questions.
· Explain how another person’s
beliefs, assumptions, and values may lead that person to
create a different question than you.
