🧠 Crafting Strong Career Research Questions

Mini-lesson on characteristics of strong investigable questions versus broad or opinion-based questions, using career examples (e.g., "How has automation changed hiring requirements for medical assistants since 2000?"). Students examine weak vs. strong samples, identify variables (career field, type of technology, time frame), and draft 2–3 possible research questions connected to their personal career interests and a potential interview subject (family member, teacher, or local business owner). Peers give feedback to 2 classmates using a checklist aligned to Question Quality criteria.
