Blog Entry Thirteen: Motivating Your Research

Please read "The Craft of Research" PDF posted to ANGEL under Lessons. Then, follow the author's suggested line of inquiry used to motivate and focus one's research by composing the following into your own statements about your scholarly research paper:

1. I am studying/trying to learn about _____________.
2. I am studying/trying to learn about _____________, because I want to find out who/what/why/when/where/whether or not _______________________.
3. I am doing this in order to ________________________.

These statements will be clear/obvious to you if you did the reading. The point is to specifically identify your topic, the question you are asking about your topic (make it specific and precise), and your rationale/purpose for asking such a question.
