Chapter three highlights the importance of understanding your topic, and more importantly, how informed are you of your topic. In order to develop a strong research question, it is critical to attain as much information as possible. You can do this by asking yourself a series of questions about general information, history, assumptions, goals, procedures, and outcomes. You want to make sure that your research question is not too broad and yet, at the same time, not too narrow.
Once the question is decided upon, it is time to filter it. The chapter points out key concepts to use in your research question that will help it sound more electric and interesting. You do not want readers to find out the answer to a boring and dull question; you want readers to become instantly curious as they read your first introductory paragraph.
The question will ultimately be the basis of the paper. It will instantly help readers determine whether the paper is worth their time or not. Gathering as much information on your topic will really help you create an extravagant question. It is almost as if you are doing research BEFORE the actual research that will make up your paper.
