​Question FORMULATION TECHNIQUE

For the project, your group needs to answer one research question which will serve as your group's focus.

​

​The question should be based on your group's interests. So pick something that every member of your group prefers.

​

​To help you think about possible questions, let's watch a promotional video about Nansha Bay Area.

• For 3 minutes, list down questions based on the video.

• Ask as many questions as your group can.

• Write every question as it is stated. Do not edit them.

• If your idea is in statement form, transform it into a question.​

​Question FORMULATION: Step 1 (3 minutes)

• Categorize and label questions as OPEN or CLOSED by adding a letter "O" for open and "C" for closed, beside each question.

​Question FORMULATION: Step 2 (3 minutes)
