Question

A student has presented the following essential question to a teacher for pre-approval before beginning a research report. If you were the teacher, how would you guide this student to refine the question? What questions might you ask of the student?

What was life like in ancient Greece?

Answer 1

Answer:Consider narrowing the topic.

Would you like to focus on family life? Or the lives of the students of Socrates? Or the lives of Greek slaves.

Maybe compare and contrast life in two different city-states like Athens or Sparta.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's proposal is way too broad and vague. More preliminary reading may help to discover some aspect of ancient Greek life that would lead to interesting research.
