🔎 Question Refinement with the Librarian

Submission Required

A librarian or media specialist models how to turn broad issue ideas into focused, searchable questions by checking scope, keywords, and likely evidence sources. Students test 2-3 possible questions in databases or curated source sets, then use a question-planning template to narrow one final investigable question and draft an initial hypothesis. Pairs conference briefly to compare whether each question can be answered with available time and evidence.
