Writing Workshop: Evaluating Research Questions and Sources in History

Question 5 • CA-MS United States History and Geography: Growth and Conflict B

Which is the first step in the creation of an informative essay?

Answer
A
gathering and evaluating sources
B
organizing a works cited page
C
generating a “yes” or “no” question
D
generating a research question

Explanation

Begin by generating a research question. It gives the essay a clear focus and guides what information and sources to seek. Gathering and evaluating sources comes after you know what you are researching; a yes-or-no question is not the general first step, and a works cited page is organized later.
