**On this WIKI we will practice generating questions to support a topic**. Narrowing a topic properly and developing a meaningful essential question takes preliminary reading and research. It cannot be done without knowing something about the topic. Together we will determine what information needs to be collected before an essential question can be constructed and come up with several possibilities to direct the final phase of research. These steps must be taken before a successful, high quality, original research paper can be written.
