Unit 2 Overview

Developing thematic questions: Truth

Good guiding questions are the basis of effective research. Questions should guide the sources you select and your annotations.  As a class, we are going to develop some good guiding questions around the concept of TRUTH.

Examples from 'A Death':

• Why do people presume innocence? 
• What is justice and does it change based on circumstances? 

Research Skills: Columbine Research Portfolio (copy in drop)
